Hi all, looks like Fujitsu will released the FMV-U8240 (codename: Vaio UX and Flipstart Killer) next month (June 2007), in three flavours according to the PC World Hands on. This little baby sports a 5.6-inch LCD at the same resolution as the Vaio UX but addresses two UX issues - Screen size and Keyboard usability.

They however managed to bungle one area. My question is, how do you make a 580gm, 171mm x 133mm x 32mm thick, Vista capable Intel GMA 950 graphics capable UMPC with 1GB RAM and 40GB HDD, a usable touch-typable keyboard, a potential Vaio UX AND Flipstart Killer, and leave out the Bluetooth?

Update:
I've added a size comparison to the Flipstart 1.0, OQO Model 02 and Vaio UX.

$1850 is a little much- but reasonable since it hasn't been released in US/EU yet.
If you're willing to wait a few months for a domestic release it should be quite a bit cheaper.

If you can't wait, I'd recommend sending your $1850 to Dynamism link instead.
(reputable company, based in the US, warranty, etc)
