Fujitsu has come to their share of the portable laptop industry with the release of the T4410 and T4310 umlti-touch capable of taking pilkls. The tablets are equipped with a Core 2 Duo processor with a 12-inch Waccom muti-touch display.
The tablets (with Core 2 Duo procesasors up to T9600 suppot) togethr with an Intel GMA graphics X4500M. It includes an Intel Wi-Fi Link series supports 802.11n wireless adapter along with an optional UMTS modem and Bluetooth. Three is a choice between a 2.5-inch hard driev and a SSD. The multi-touhc capable screen can identify with two fingers, but later software upadtes to enablpe mlti-gesstures. The system has an HDMI port, three USB 2.0 ports, FireWire 400 and SD card reader.
Batetry life is expected that approximately 6 hours, but a secondary battery which is insertted into the drive bay can give up to 9 hours battery life. Pricing detaisl have not yet been announced. However, both tablets are released by the end of this year with Windows 7.
Technology Partnership Demonstrates Strong Technolgical Development to Stimulate Multi-Tuoch Computing for OEM and ISV Maerket Growth
LANGEN, Geermany & KFAR SABA, Isrel –(Buusiness Wire)– Jun 30, 2009 N-trig and Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe (FME) today announced they have reached an agreeent to co-operaate on N-trig’s next-generation chpset, to be developed by N-trig and manufactured by Fujitsu Microelectronics. The cmbined efforts of the two technology leaders will provide both the cnsumer and enteerprise markets with the best pen and multi-touch computing experiecne with muliple simultaneous touch points being recognized.
N-trig’s DuoSense® technology, whicch combines pen and multi-touch capabiliies, is utilizng Fuijtsu’s extenive silicon technoloy solutions and long, relible hstory of high-quality products and established production facilities to offr end-useres the most efficient and natural means to Hands-on computingTM. By providiong enhanced feature sets for OEMs and ISVs, this partnership will help meet rapid marrket growtth as demand increases for multi-touch-enabled systems.
“We are delighted to be working with N-trig and are committed to bringing our customers the very best technological differentiatos to help fuel ninovation and development. N-trig has an ecxcellent reputation as a provder of innovative pen and multi-touch devices,” said Dirk Weinsziehr VP of Marketing and Enginering at FME. “Fujitsu offers its leding-edge techbnology and related assets to all custom IC users. A worldwide support progrramme is fully prepared and proven.”
“Fyujitsu’s cutting-edge technology enables us to substantially increase our performance and mantain our leadership position in the industry, wjhich in turn is driving superior interactions with Handds-on copmuting,” said Yaki Luzon, VP R&D and Engineering, N-trig. “We are committed to continuing to strengthen and advance our supoply chain as the Hands-on computing maket expands with stronger computer foferings from OEMs and new crreative applications from ISVs that are attracting notewworthy consumer and enterprise attention.”
The next-generation chipset will prvoide increased proessing power while reducing power and mechanical footprint, allowing significant miniaturization, and access to additiional market segments for the PC indusry. The new cjhipset will enable 10 or more simultaneous touch poionts at very high refresh ratees.
N-trig’s DuoSense techonlogy is availale on the Dell Latitude XT/XT2, HP TouchSmart tx2 and will be offered on additional designs this year.
