Just like the Kohjinsha SC3, the Fujitsu U2010 is a mini, no, tiny notebook PC running on the new Intel Menlow platform. JKKMobile and UMPCFever have reported the specifications (now in the database) and I’ve been looking over them.
Firstly, the screen is an amazing 1280×800 which is the same pixel density as a Sony UX UMPC. It’s high, but useful. You can always bump the font sizes up if you need to.
Secondly, the battery life is quoted as 3.5hrs under Bapco MobileMark 2007 Productivity. As far as I can tell, that means Wifi-off, low screen brightness and some office application work. 3.5 hours isn’t bad. Probably 30 minutes more than the Kohjinsha SC3 under those conditions. If the Wifi module is good, that means 3hrs browsing time which is much more than the SC3 will achieve.
Update: Looks like I was spot on with the battery life. See this report.
It looks tempting with it’s very light weight (610gm) fingerprint reader and dual memory card slots Local street price in Hong Kong is said to be $1350 though which is a lot more than the SC3. Willcom D4 vs Fuji U2010 vs SC3 fight anyone?

The DPI is way too crazy high now. Combine this with the extreme cost for another menlow-makeover and you have an assured failure. It’s just becoming a Sony UX device.
Is that 3.5 hours with the standard large battery? If so, that is not good at all. If the time is for that non-standard standard sized battery, that is a bit better than the previous one.

That should be standard. The older version of the device (U1010 / U810) lasts about 5 hours with a large battery.

Lots of new photos here:
http://tinhte.com/forum/showthread.php?p=626311
And specs are different again:
1024×768 resolution - instead of incredible 1280×800 (BTW, 1024×768 doesn’t correspond to aspect ratio of display on these photos)
80GB HD - instead of 60GB
3G and GPS (not mentioned in the JKKM spec)
