Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
Fujitsu is apparently looking to bring its senior-friendly Android smartphones to users in Europe and the US. We don’t have a single date to share but we expect to learn more within a week when CES kicks off in Las Vegas. As you would expect, these smartphones are super-easy to use, featuring only few options…
Fujitsu has made available its Stylistic M532 Android tablet on its website. The M532 is powered by Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) and it carries a price tag of $549. Features on the Stylistic include a 10.1-inch IPS screen with a WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution, a Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB…
NTT Docomo, NEC, Fujitsu and its chip-making division Fujitsu Semiconductor are teaming-up to form a joint venture to focus on the development and sales of semiconductor products with built-in modem functions. In other words, they want to compete with the likes of Qualcomm and Nvidia (after it acquired Icera). The technologies individually held by the…
We love to read stories of mobile technology helping solve some real-world problem. So we were glad to learn that Fujitsu is working with Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) on an indoor support system for the blind. The system relies on ultra wide band (UWB) technology and a smartphone to provide…
If you think you’ve seen it all when it comes to touchscreens, think again. Japanese NTT Docomo and Fujitsu demoed the technology that could potentially change everything. Their two-side OLED screen prototype is not only transparent but can accept your touch inputs from both sides. For instance, one side could be used for dealing with…
You know how 3D smartphones are steadily getting traction, though not all major handset makers are on board with the idea. Nevertheless, Fujitsu thinks there’s money to be made in this market and rather than releasing its own device, it made a technology that allows any smartphone to capture 3D images. This magic is done…
It was back in 2010 when we told you Fujitsu and Toshiba are merging their mobile divisions to better compete on the market. That plan apparently didn’t work with Fujitsu announcing it has acquired Toshiba’s ownership stake (19.9%) in the joint venture, making the new company a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu with a new…
I had a chance to speak with Fujitsu’s representatives in Barcelona and they seem pretty bullish on the prospects of selling Fujitsu smartphones and tablets outside of Japan. Let’s face it, Japan used to be a very different market and their phones had little to do with those sold elsewhere, but that’s no longer the…
Although the next couple of paragraphs are about the device which is still in the prototype phase, we decided to give it some space on IntoMobile since it may easily be the best Android smartphone ever made. As a product that is still not ready for the prime time, this Fujitsu phone still doesn’t have…
We’re live from Mobile World Congress 2012 and one of the cool things about it is we get to hang out with companies that we normally don’t interact with much like Fujitsu. We popped by its booth and saw it absolutely torture testing phones, so check it out. Fujitsu was making a big deal about…
