Fujitsu Asia Pacific has launched its first ultra-mobile PC (UMPC), the LifeBook U1010.

The LifeBook U1010 weighs just over half-a-kilogram, and features a 0.3mm glass LCD screen and high-density mounting among others. With a convertible, swivel form factor, the LifeBook can be used like a hand-held or tablet or NB PC.

Fujitsu claims the LifeBook is a mini powerhouse capable of handling multiple functions, including watching movies and listening to music, viewing and editing documents, video-conferencing, and surfing the Internet.

The device has a slim 0.2mm Aluminum-plated Qwerty keyboard, and a touch-screen that allows a user's fingers to do the walking, in the absence of a stylus. The glide point pointing device makes interaction that much easier.

Security features include: platform module support, 2-level BIOS lock, and fingerprint sensor, among others.

LifeBook U1010, which runs on Intel's latest Ultra Mobile Platform 2007, will be available through distributors, Salora International, for Rs 85,000, along with a 3-year warranty.
