Fujitsu showcases laptop with gesture control

Toshiba dabbled with gesture controls back in 2008 with the Qosmio G50, but that didn't really catch on with users. Hence, gesture control disappeared from subsequent models. This feature has apparently reappeared, but this time in the form of Fujitsu Lifebook AH series laptops with a "Natal Like" interface.

By using the Webcam, the notebook is able to recognize hand movements to control volume levels as well as video playback. You can view a demo of the laptop above. The AH series comes in either Intel Core i3/i5 or AMD Athlon II processor flavors. More details … Read more

Fujitsu's guilt-inducing surge protector

My big home entertainment system includes a giant TV, Xbox 360, Blu-ray player, Apple TV, and surround sound system--and an HDMI switch that ties them all together. I'm not sure I want to know how much power these devices leech daily through one surge protector. But Fujitsu wants me to know, and it knows guilt is a powerful motivator.

The blog PatentAuthority tracked down the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office document Friday that shows Fujitsu turned the iPad trademark over to Apple officially on March 17. Though it's not disclosed, we can assume that Fujitsu was compensated in some way for assigning that trademark, which it has owned since 2003, to Apple.

Here's the document showing Apple's ownership … Read more

Fujitsu Lifebook UH900 hands-on: Pocketbook laptop

LAS VEGAS--How small is too small? For those with an ultraportable obsession, consider this year's pocket-computer of note, the Fujitsu Lifebook UH900 Multi-Touch handheld PC. While there more than a few passing similarities to Sony's Vaio P series of ultra-small laptops announced just one year ago, Fujitsu's adds one or two additional tweaks to the formula. The UH900's 5.6 inch screen has resistive multitouch touch that is more responsive than other pressure-based screens we've tried. While a 5.6-inch display turns productivity into a bit of a joke, at least text and images are … Read more
