Capitalising on more than a decade of experience in designing and manufacturing pen-enabled computers, Fujitsu Limited and its group affiliates today announced the global availability of the Stylistic ST Series Tablet PC. The announcement comes in conjunction with the launch of Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, a new version of Microsoft Windows XP Professional, with an extensive and integrated suite of utilities such as handwriting recognition.
Fujitsu Siemens Computer`s new Stylistic ST Series Tablet PC features an XGA TFT display equipped with an electromagnetic digitiser, making it possible to write directly on the screen with the accompanying pen. This feature allows for more intuitive pen operation and accommodates natural handwriting input. Stylistic ST Series Tablet PC`s unique design allows it to be used as either a slimmed-down desktop or a portable PC, according to the needs of the user.
The Stylistic ST4110 weighs in at just 1.48kg (3.2 pounds) and comes in an A4 package, measuring 22 x 30 cm with an ultra-slim depth of 22mm, making it one of the thinnest and lightest Tablet PCs to date. Yet you can do anything on the Stylistic Tablet PC that you can do on a desktop PC, with up to 4.5 to 5 hours battery life and a design that makes it simple to use whilst standing and walking. It is easy to connect devices such as a keyboard, mouse or DVD/CD reader and writer or a GSM or GPRS card, giving customers complete flexibility about how they use the Tablet PC in different situations.
"The age of the Tablet PC promises to revolutionise mobile computing and to deliver a huge leap in productivity and performance," explained Peter Esser, executive vice-president of Volume Products, Fujitsu Siemens Computers. "Laps will be liberated as users can stand up and use the Stylistic`s amazing electronic ink and hand-writing recognition capabilities to write on it like a paper notepad with a digital pen. Or, within seconds, the notepad can be transformed to desktop mode by simply slotting the Stylistic in to a Tablet Dock and with a keyboard, mouse and a multitude of other peripherals attached. This is our 18th generation of pen PC and the arrival of the Stylistic ST4110 illustrates our commitment to delivering products which bring true mobility to customers."
"The Fujitsu Siemens Computers` Stylistic ST Series Tablet PC is an exciting design, which will help increase worker productivity by providing users a more natural form of computing," said Alexandra Loeb, vice-president of the Tablet PC division at Microsoft. "The Fujitsu Siemens Computers` Tablet PC makes it easy for customers to blend the simplicity of pen and paper with the functionality of a personal computer."
The Stylistic ST4110 has a high-quality 10.4-inch XGA TFT display, which can be easily rotated between landscape and portrait mode to optimise application viewing without needing to reboot the system. Embedded in the display is an active digitiser which enables the user to take handwritten notes with digital ink and to save them on the unit. The ultra-fine resolution then ensures a crisp and clear display to easily view written text and graphics. These sophisticated display technologies are essential to ensure that customers can complete common business tasks such as checking email, accessing electronic files, taking handwritten notes, reading text and wirelessly sharing information virtually anywhere.
The Stylistic ST4110 incorporates an Ultra Low Voltage Mobile Intel Pentium III Processor-M running at 800MHz and supporting Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology. It has a shock mounted hard drive to guard against loss of data as the device is carried around and up to 768MB of system memory provides the highest performance possible. It can stay connected at all times because it has an optional IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN capabilities with advanced security protocols. The Stylistic ST4110 is also fitted with both modem and Ethernet connections.
Strong partnership with SAP
