Fujitsu Announces Atom Based UMPC

- Warner Crocker

Fujitsu isn’t giving up on the UMPC market, having just announced a new model. The U2010 is aimed a the higher end of the market with a price estimated at $1295 and is scheduled for a July launch in Taiwan. A difference from previous models is that it will have a 6–row keyboad instead of five. Given that some with big hands find the smaller Fujitsu keyboards on these smaller devices a bit tough to work with, this will be interesting. It will also contain 3.5G connectivity and a GPS module.

Is the body of the computer going to be the same size?

If so, the keys would be even smaller, too bad they don't get rid of the huge bezel and put in a 7" screen, would be totally nifty.

My u810 has pretty small keys now. Maybe if they can bevel them a little so your fingers dont slip off as easily.

Using the Fn+. for a period is a pain, tried remapping, but then some of the other keys didn't work. I did get the delete key and tab key fixed to the windows key.

The keys take up more space up to the screen than the last model. Also its slightly wider I think

Still not very pocketable unfortunately I think.

Isnt the u810/loox only a year old? Amazing its replaced already
