On January 14, Fujitsu will begin selling a 990g (2.18 lbs) Tablet PC named, LOOX P70R. The price will not be set but is expected to sell for around 230,000 yen.

Fujitsu has announced a number of new Tablet PCs. There are two new models in the "Lifebook" series, and three new models in the "Stylistic" series.

A pretty nice system unveiled by Fujitsu at the "Fujitsu Forum 2005" incorporates a technique called "Time Difference of Arrival" to calculate the position of objects in a closed environment. So, you'll be able to pinpoint the location of a wireless LAN card (and thus computer, and thus person) with an accuracy of 1 to 4 meters. This is o­n par with similar triangulation systems offered by GPS and PHS.

Three Fujitsu companies have gotten together to deliver the world's first flexible colour e-paper that doesn't lose its display when switched off. Woohoo!

Fujitsu Automation has announced their "HOAP-3" humanoid robot. It looks to be pretty compact with a 60cm height. Additions to this version include image recognition and some various sensors. I also didn't realize the thing has a Pentium M processor and runs Linux, and Fujitsu Automation even publicizes the internal interface info...this thing would be a homebrew delight!

Fujitsu is gearing up to release o­ne of the most powerful A/V desktop PCs ever released -- the TX90L/D is the first desktop to support the direct recording of terrestrial digital broadcasts, including 1080i HDTV broadcasts. I might also mention it has a 32" widescreen LCD.

Fujitsu has announced they'll be selling their LCD unit to Sharp. Though the details of the sale are yet to become known, o­ne thing is evident: I didn't even know Fujitsu made LCDs.

A Japanese company called Morisawa has teamed up with Fujitsu Labs to invent a new product called "KeiType." I'll summarize by just saying they're vectorized Japanese fonts, but I think in real life, things are much more complicated.
