Fujitsu to launch Windows 7 Tablet Business

Fujitsu, Japan will soon launch a tablet for business users that the security feature is not available in most consumer machines.

The Q550 style will get its official unveiling at next week's Cebit in Germany and has a fingerprint reader, smartcard slot and-trusted platform module (TPM), the company said. (See the tablet's video on YouTube).

Your computer will run Windows 7 Professional, and uses an Intel Atom "Oak Trail". It has a 10-inch LED touchscreen. Unlike previous stylistic tablet that required a stylus, the touch interface on the new model also works with a finger.

Other features include front and rear cameras, 32 or 64 GB solid state drive (SSD) drive, an optional 3 G module and a USB port.

Fujitsu says a combination of low power processor and LED backlit screen helped to extend the battery life for about eight hours.

Should appear in Europe in April.

Security features of tablet PC might respond to requests for some companies, but it remains to be seen if the tablet PC will take off among business users. Tablet PCs have been tried several times in the last decade and have failed to find widespread adoption every time.

The current boom in the Tablet-PC between consumers will probably again some companies facing products.
