Another new one?

(October 27,2004)
Fujitsu Computer Systems today announced it has begun shipping in volume its second-generation convertible Tablet PC, the LifeBook T4000 Tablet PC. The company's convertible Tablet PC is the ideal solution for field force and sales force automation as well as insurance and government workers because of the capabilities to improve efficiency, productivity and security. Fujitsu also announced today the rollout of a large-scale LifeBook T4000 Tablet PC integration by Shaw Industries.

By simply twisting the screen of the LifeBook T4000 Tablet PC, a user can have the option of either a keyboard or a pen for data input and management. This unsurpassed flexibility positions the LifeBook T4000 Tablet PC as a no compromise mobile computing solution that can be used in a wide variety of work environments with an emphasis on productivity.

"We are expecting these systems to greatly improve customer service and facilitate the exchange of information among our sales force," said Steve Abernathy, director of marketing technology for Shaw Industries. "The convertible LifeBook T4000 Tablet PC is the best built system we've seen. We were impressed by the quality and reliability of the product and the excellent service and support offerings from Fujitsu."

Shaw Industries, the world's largest carpet manufacturer, recently purchased more than 1,100 Fujitsu LifeBook T4000 Tablet PCs for its sales force. Shaw sales representatives will each carry convertible Tablet PCs with them on sales calls, using them as decision support tools to enter in orders, retrieve account history and review product information electronically at the point-of-service.

The integration of a modular bay gives users the flexibility to choose between a Multi-Format DVD Writer, second battery or weight saver option in order to create a mobile computing solution that best suits their individual needs. A new display with up to a 180-degree viewing angle makes this Tablet PC perfect for sharing information, such as presentations and spreadsheets, as well as working in a wide variety of lighting environments.

The LifeBook T4000 Tablet PC is ideal for mobile workers who must rely on their system throughout the entire workday. The system can deliver up to 8.5 hours(2) of battery life -- an entire workday -- with both batteries installed. This extended battery life is ideal for workers who find themselves moving from one location to another throughout the day.

In order to maintain the integrity of accurate customer and company data, Fujitsu has implemented advanced security features on each system to deter unauthorized users and enable secure authentication.
