It looks like the “handsome” new Fujitsu T2010 that we saw back in the beginning of July has made its way into the loving arms of the FCC — where they’ve given it their precious stamp of approval. Of course, this doesn’t mean anything yet, as the company hasn’t made any announcements, but it does open the possibility of seeing the 12.1-inch ultralight tablet around these parts in the future. The Core 2 Duo system runs on Intel’s Santa Rosa 965 chipset, with an integrated X3100 GMA graphics chip, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a weight starting at just 3.31 lbs.

The first reviews of Sony’s new top-of-the-line ultraportable, the Vaio TZ, are are starting to trickle in, and they’re surprisingly mixed. While there’s no doubting the overall hotness of the industrial design, the older, non-Santa Rosa chipset, 1.1GHz Core 2 Duo ultra low voltage processor, and integrated GMA 950 graphics don’t seem to provide all that much bang for your $2,200 bucks, and the system seems to be preloaded with tons of crapware — Laptop Magazine straight up says the TZ ran “as if it were broken” until they cleaned it up. Still, most reviewers found the design, battery life, available 32GB SSD, and WWAN options to be intriguing enough to rate high scores — either that, or this thing is even sexier in person.

Recall that quietly seductive PR200 we saw way back in January? MSI has gone and launched the 12-inch ultraportable in Korea, given it a dark outfit, and thrown it into the ever-expanding MEGABOOK lineup. The finalized machine will reportedly sport Intel’s 965 Express chipset, a Core 2 Duo T7300 processor, 2GB of RAM, 802.11n support, integrated GMA X3100 graphics, a 1.3-megapixel camera, built-in microphone, and an HDMI port. Additionally, you’ll find a fingerprint scanner, onboard optical drive, audio in / out, a number of USB ports, and a ginormous palm rest sticker for good measure.

First comes the FCC leak, then comes a hunch, and just as fate would have it, now it’s time to celebrate the fact that Samsung‘s SGH-P520 is apparently a tad more than a figment of one’s imagination. Reportedly, this sexy handset will indeed be making its way onto store shelves, and rather than featuring an oh-so-typical keypad, users will rely solely on a touchscreen to navigate the GUI. Specs wise, it will boast a 2.6-inch 320 x 240 resolution LCD, GSM / EDGE connectivity, a three-megapixel camera, 50MB of internal memory, Bluetooth / WiFi, and a microSD card slot to boot. No word just yet on pricing nor availability, but do click on for one last shot.
