With more and more tablets coming out of the woodwork lately, it’s only fitting that they start adding security measures to these devices as soon as possible. Even plain-old casual tablet users will have some form of sensitive data installed and stored on their devices, so it’s important to have a form of security available to help keep all of this data safe. The Japan-based Fujitsu may already have a solution on its hands in the form of its Palm Secure module which is reportedly going to make its way to one or more tablets and other mobile devices in the future.

The sensor on Fujitsu’s Palm Secure module measures a mere 5mm thick, so it should go just fine with most tablets available in the market nowadays. They may need to reduce that thickness just a little bit more in order to make it fit inside the likes of the Toshiba Excite 10 LE tablet, but otherwise, it should be the perfect for other tablet models. There’s no word on when tablet manufacturers are going to include this good bit of technology in their future offerings (and how), but this is definitely a case of the sooner, the better.

Pocketables has an unboxing of this tiny UMPC from Fujitsu, the UH900. Also known as the LOOX U/G90, this portable is like a netbook packed into Nintendo DS in its size.

The unit shipped to them included a VGA/LAN combo adapter, a nice touch for those who want full use of their device in a desktop setting. Some specs here:

Fujitsu UH900 / LOOX U/G90

• 5.6″ 1280 x 800 touchscreen
• 2.0GHz Intel Atom
• 2GB RAM
• 30GB HDD or 62GB SSD
• Windows 7 Home Premium
• 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS
• 2 x USB, Trackpoint mouse control, 0.78MP webcam, card reader
• 2-cell 1800mAh battery
• Weight: 0.50kg

If you need a device that’s even smaller than a netbook, this one looks like a good alternative. It’s even smaller than the Vaio P as shown above which may or may not be your cup of tea. You can get the SSD version at Fujitsu’s store for US$849 (after a $100 mail-in rebate). More pics through the link below.

There is hope yet for those of you who don’t like what Apple has decided to call its latest concoction — the Apple iPad. Let’s face it, the name just conjures up images of a white piece of… something that females usually find sitting between their legs for a certain period of time every month. I’m sure you won’t find it very hard to imagine what I’m talking about. Anyway, it seems Apple may actually drop the name in the future, if it doesn’t end up settling with Japanese electronics manufacturer Fujitsu who has a pending patent application for the name iPad.

Fujitsu’s iPad has been in the market since 2002, and it features a 3.5-inch touchscreen color display, an unspecified Intel processor, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and Microsoft’s CE operating system. Aside from the OS, it sounds pretty much like Apple’s iPad, eh? It’s unlikely that the two companies won’t settle in some way for joint usage of the name, but like I said earlier, there’s a slim chance that Apple might change the name to, I don’t know, something a little bit better maybe?

What does it mean if your netbook has a free mini PCIe slot? Well, it’s an easy way to add an internal device like an SSD, 3G module or Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator. The last one is something you might want to try if you do have a free slot as it will give your Atom netbook a much needed boost in the HD video department. The list is below:

Asus 7″ series: 1 available, free (very early models only)
Asus 9″ series: 1 available (occupied by SSD)
Asus 1000HE: 1 available (3G available in Europe; cannot import; 2 slots)
Asus N10: Unclear; appear to be 3, but one seems to be designed for SSD only
Acer 8.9″: 2 available in 3G-enabled models; otherwise 1 (tnkgrl has added a slot successfully)
Acer AOD150: 2 available (3G available in Europe; cannot import; still 2)
Acer AOD250: 1 available
Acer AO532h: 1 available, untested
Dell Mini 9: 3 available in 3G-enabled models; otherwise 2; WIFI is half-height
Dell Mini 10: 3 available in 3G-enabled models; otherwise 2; WIFI is half-height
Fujitsu U2010/U820: 1 available (free) for 3G, both on WWAN model and original.
Gigabyte M912: 2 available
HP 2140: 1 available [2150 model will have 3G]
HP Mini 1000; 2 available in 3G-enabled models; otherwise 1

Lenovo S9: only 1, USB+PCI-E, no whitelist
Lenovo S10: 1 available (3G available in Europe; cannot import; 2 slots)
Lenovo U150: 2 available (one is for a half PCIe occupied by the WiFi card)
LG X110: 2 available (3G and WIFI seem to be the only configuration) [AT&T will sell it]

Engadget recently spotted the new Fujitsu Lifebook UH900 at Hong Kong and it certainly is tiny, very similar to the Vaio P as we mentioned before. The battery is a measly 2 hours worth with all the features they crammed into the unit. The price is an amazing $1,415 so you might want to check your wallet if you want to splurge on one of these.

Fujitsu’s latest addition to its LifeBook range of mobile computing devices bears very little semblance to your average netbook. Why am I not surprised? Would-be netbooks these days are more ‘laptop’ or ‘smartbook’ than anything else. The Fujitsu LifeBook UH900 would probably fall into the smartbook category. It sports a WXGA resolution screen (1366×768) on a 5.6-inch display. Now, read that again in case you missed the part where you’re supposed to say, “What? Are they insane?!”

Yeah, it looks like they pretty much are, or at least they intend to drive a few people insane with that mind-boggling combo of screen size and resolution that’s even crazier than what the Sony Vaio P came with. The screen will support multi-touch input, by the way, and other features include an Intel Atom Z530 processor, SSD storage, 3.5G and Bluetooth wireless connectivity.

UMTS and non-UMTS versions of the Fujitsu LifeBook UH900 will be introduced starting January of next year. It will be available in Mocha Black, Fiery Red and Vintage Gold. Fujitsu’s mum about its price at the moment, but you can expect it to be a bit more expensive than your ‘average’ netbook due to it having a multi-touch, high-res screen, SSD storage and a range of wireless features.

Fujitsu have announced two more products to the LifeBook range. Both the P3010 and P3110 feature an 11.6 inch display, multi touch trackpads and run Windows 7. Like the MacBook Air they will be able to share a DVD drive from the local network, to burn or read disks which is a tad more useful on these netbooks as they don’t include an optical drive.

The P3110 features an Intel Pentium processor while the P3010 will feature an AMD AthlonTN processor. Information on release date and pricing is currently unknown. We do know however, that each netbook will come in several colors. The P3010 will come in black or red, where as the P3110 is available in both these colors and silver.

The Fujitsu Lifebook U2010 UMPC was first announced with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor last year, but now it’s also available with a 2GH Intel Atom Z550 processor, which should boost the performance a bit, though whether it is worth it or not is still in question. The rest of the specs are still the same–there’s a 5.6-inch convertible touchscreen display, 1GB of RAM and up to 120GB storage. The slight upgrade to 2GHz on a Z550 chip requires a buyer to add $383 to the overall purchase price, so I’m not counting on this “feature” to catch on any time soon.

jkkmobile reports on the Fujitsu LifeBook P1630 hitting the FCC. On the FCC website you’ll find the user manual as well as test reports.

With a 8.9 inch touch screen, up to 2GB of RAM and an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, it won’t be very different to earlier models but worth a consideration. The Fujitsu LifeBook P1630 will also have wlan, lan and bluetooh connectivity as well as a fingerprint reader.

Fujitsu Asia Pacific have today revealed they’ll be releasing a low cost ultra portable laptop in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The Fujitsu M1010 netbook will feature an 8.9 inch wide screen display. Processor, RAM and storage specifications are yet to be revealed. We do know that it will come with wifi, bluetooth, a 1.3 mega pixel web camera and removable clip on covers that will come in a variety of different colors.
