"Fujitsu has a heritage in touch computing, so it is a
natural progression for us to embrace Windows 7 and the host of usability
features it offers,” Paul Moore, senior director of Mobile Product

“Multitouch is of particular interest to our customers, and, as a leader
in the tablet market, Fujitsu will continue to expand its portfolio of products
to take full advantage of these features.”

Navigation is included, as is WiFi, Bluetooth and a stereo microphone.
There’s also an ECO button, which Fujitsu says can
extend battery life, a Fujitsu Touch Launcher, said to enhance the
mini-notebook’s touch-based usability, and a glossy housing in a shade
called “champagne.”
