Yes, a strange statement to make but its exactly what I though if when I saw it. A design daring to be different but not really having any classic, timeless lines. The Amilo looks cool on first glance but I bet it looks, er, less cool in 12 months!
Fashion aside though, the specs aren’t anything to moan about, apart from the slow-looking 60GB HDD perhaps. The Array mic will help with Skype, the ExpressCard slot will help with multi-device 3G cards and I like the fact that its got Bluetooth. FSC is a German partnership between Fujitsu and Siemens so I’m not sure how this product will translate into other countries [Update - The news item gives us a clue. It could be the M1010] but I’m guessing that if Fujitsu have the rights, you’ll simply see it under a different Fujitsu model name in other countries.
Sascha from Eee PC News was at the launch today and has a few more pics where you can see the exchangeable cover ‘feature.’

Do we have any idea on price?
Is this aimed at the traditional Fujitsu (Lifebook) Proffesional market or the budget range to compete with the Lenevo S10 and new Dell E?

“Fujitsu Amilo Mini reminds me of A Bezel”
Thats more like it. Anyway, it looks plain awful in my opinion.
