New Fujitsu LifeBook P7120 notebook

Posted on 20 October 2005 by admin



Singapore, 20 October 2005 – Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific today launched the new LifeBook P7120 notebook computer – the successor to the award-winning LifeBook P7010. This compact personal companion retains all the multimedia features of its predecessor, except that it flaunts an even slimmer silhouette with an extensive battery life, seamlessly merging style with productivity as never before. Designed for the successful, well-traveled cosmopolitan professional who appreciates the latest technologies and lifestyle trends, this compact mobile companion is guaranteed to turn heads with its cool black exterior.

Mr YS Ng, Vice President, Marketing said “Fujitsu did not rest on our laurels after receiving recognition for the LifeBook P7010. Instead, we stretched the boundaries of technology even further by developing a finer notebook that balances weight, performance and battery life. Anytime, anywhere computing is truly enabled with an impressive battery life, biometric security and a lightweight form factor, making the P7120 a perfect accessory for the cosmopolitan professional.”

The LifeBook P7120 weighs a mere 1.38kg with built-in modular bay drive and 6-cell battery. Its 10.6-inch SuperFine Wide SXGA LCD display enhances the clarity and brightness of images, enabling greater enjoyment during movie-viewing and multimedia presentations. A lightweight optical drive made up of titanium and aluminium shaves off unnecessary weight. At approximately 24mm, this compact personal companion makes a sleek accessory for your mobile computing needs. Place it in your handbag or briefcase and turn heads naturally with its chic and stylish cool black exterior. An optional port replicator transforms the P7120 into a full-featured notebook, enabling easy docking and undocking from devices without the fuss of reconnecting cables. This compact personal companion sits inconspicuously on the work desk, saving valuable workspace.

Work on your business reports or enjoy your favourite DVD movies while on long haul business or vacation flights. Fujitsu understands that well-traveled professionals require a notebook that can perform for long hours thus, an optional second battery extends total battery life up to 10 hours! Prolong your battery life even further with the Fujitsu propriety power saving utility – the “ECO” button. This utility enables you to switch to energy-saving mode by lowering the power consumption of some components of the computer when not in use, e.g. the various card slots, the optical drive as well as the hard disk and LCD display. This translates to longer productivity hours for professionals constantly on-the-go. The ECO button can also be programmed to launch any other application of your choice.

Fujitsu makes every effort to ensure that our products are manufactured in a bid to promote environment conservation and protection. Our engineers developed the LifeBook P7120 with a minimum level of six hazardous substances, making it RoHS- (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) compliant. This translates to a health-friendly environment for all in the family.

Impress your peers and business associates with the advanced fingerprint login feature that encrypts your fingerprint to your files, folders and confidential documents. Gain instant secure access to the Internet, webmail and other applications via a simple swipe of your pre-registered finger. As an additional bonus, the fingerprint sensor can be programmed as a scroll button with vertical scroll functions.

Thanks to the vast number of digital peripherals on the market today, mobile professionals need their computers to be truly flexible. The LifeBook P7210 features an impressive array of connectivity options including three conveniently placed USB 2.0 ports, an IEEE 1394 port, S-Video port, High Definition (HD) audio in and out jacks, modem access and network connections. Take the P7120 with you on well-deserved vacations and access your photo or video files easily via a combination of Secure Digital (SD), Memory Stick PRO and xD card slots.

Noxon2Audio WiFi Internet Radio

Posted on 20 October 2005 by admin


Yeah, everybody and their mom is making internet radios these days, but this little WiFi number, the Noxon2Audio, looks incredibly Mac Mini-esque and can stream straight from the source or play a multitude of audio formats off of your PC. Yeah, sure, we know it’s been done, but how about support for Windows Media Connect DRM10 — that’s got to count for something right? No? Well how about S/P-DIF digital out, USB 2.0 host capability (control those MP3 players you have lying around), an IR remote, Ethernet port, and 802.11g in the WiFi department? Still not buying? Fine, whatever. We’re taking our Noxon2 and going home, and you’re not invited to our birthday party either.

NEC LT30 and LT35: world’s first “truly automatic” projectors

Posted on 20 October 2005 by admin


NEC recently announced what they are billing as the world’s first truly automatic projectors: NEC LT30 and LT35. Both digital projectors automatically focus (!), sync with your computer’s signal, square a skewed image, and power on/off gracefully when connected to a wall light-switch or power strip. Each projector pumps XGA (1024 x 768) natively and weigh 4.4 pounds with a footprint smaller than an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of paper. The L30 boasts 2,600 lumens for $1,795 while the LT35 squeezes out 3,000 lumens for $2,195 — that’s bright enough to present with the shades open or lights on, dig. Sure, you can use these at home, but with inputs limited to RCA, RGB (analog), S-Video, and component (via RGB adapter) you could do better. Expect these to drop next month.

Sharp PocketPC Phone Edition WM5 edition PDA, the W-ZERO3 or WS0003SH!

Posted on 20 October 2005 by admin


Take one dash HTC Wizard / Apache, a heaping spoonful of HTC Universal, a pinch of Zaurus, mix liberally with Japanese engineering, bake at 375°, and you’ve got Sharp’s new Universal killer, the W-ZERO3 / WS003SH being released on Willcom. Hm, “Universal killer,” didn’t think we’d be saying those words so soon, eh? But this sucker runs Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC, and has a 3.7-inch VGA touchscreen, 416MHz Xscale processor, 128MB of flash, 64MB of RAM, a MiniSD slot, mini-USB, 802.11b, W-SIM, and a 1.33 megapixel camera. Ah, this fickle heart, how easily swayed we are. Oh, and if you thought the Universal was hugemongous, well, the W-ZERO3 is still freaking ginormous at 70 x 130 x 26mm (2.75 x 5.1 x 1.0-inches) and 220g (7.75oz), but that’s a bit less than the 127 x 81 x 25mm/285g size n’ weight on the HTC, so chew on that.

Stormblue’s just announced the A9

Posted on 20 October 2005 by admin


Having a Bluetooth logo right on front is usually a good sign, and Stormblue’s just announced the A9, a brand new portable media player with built-in Bluetooth so you can rock wireless headphones (at least that’s what we’re assuming, so far we can’t find anything confirming that it supports A2DP or any other stereo Bluetooth profile). It’s a little on the chunky side for a flash player (at least these days), but the A9 does have a 220 x 176 pixel, 260,000 color, 2.2-inch LCD, up to 2GB of memory, an SD card slot for adding more memory, and support for playback of MP3, WMA, and OGG audio files and MPEG4, DivX, and AVI video files. No word on price or availability here in the States, but it should be out in South Korea early next month.
