    Looks like something that Mr. T wore around his neck in the first season of A-TEAM. I still pity the fool, but I love it when a plan comes together.

    My mom still HAS a rotary phone, which is now called "pulse dialing". My digital aged daughter thinks its really cool, but doesnt understand why there is no redial and cant believe there was ever a time no area code was needed to place a local call.
    I would have liked to have seen this phone next to something to get a scale on it. It wont fit ANY holders or cases, but the odd shape would make it easier to find in the depths of a dark purse.

    This touchscreen should require rotary dialing.... not just button pushing, Full rotary sweeps for each number.

    @No_7: When trying to describe how something doesn't look like it came from the 60s, try avoiding references to television shows that aired in the 60s.

    Unless you're one of the new converts after the JJ Abrams movie. In which case....carry on.

    "industry's first bi-directional swivel hinge." just means that you can turn the screen to the left or to the right to flip it into slate mode. My older fujitsu tablet did the same, as does the Lenovo x200 tablet.

    @MrThunderfield: German nouns have gender, and therefore the appropriate pronoun is "he/she/it" even for inanimate objects. This is really common when a machine translation is used. From the perspective of a literal translation it is correct, although a functional translation should switch all of them to "it" for non-animate objects.

    @ludwigk: I know, I've studied German. That's why I find the translation so funny :D

    Also, I find it amusing that "Mädchen" (which means "girl") has the "it" pronoun. Chauvinistic, are we, Germany?

    It is true that €699 = $1000. But always keep in mind: Gadgets tend to keep their numerical price and just change the currency sign in front. Best example: PS3 is $299 and in Germany €299!
    So I'd put this in the $700-$800 league. A bit steep for a media pc. But with those specs? For some it might even be worth it.

    @oCfuu: It's basically a PC version of a MacMini, but with blu-ray. Price-wise its seems in line, although they don't mention the exact specs. The CPU can comprise a big portion of a mini PC's overall price.

    @ludwigk: I looked into it some more. Found a datasheet at: [sp.ts.fujitsu.com]

    It states: C2D P8700 (2.53 GHz, 3MB, 1066 MHz) with a Intel 45GM Chipset.
    It has 1 eSATA port on the back and 6 USB ports. It sports the Mobile Intel GMA 4500M HD with a res up to 1920 x 1200 but shared memory, of course.

    And for a proper sizemodo with the mac mini: 165 x 165 x 50 mm
    That's what? 6.5x6.5x2 inches?
    Weight is about 1.7kg or 3.75 pounds

    This is the future. It seems to me that PCs are branching into specialized game appliances, media appliances, web appliances, home control, etc. There was a time when a household was lucky to have a PC.

    Now, I think the combination of dirt cheap but powerful hardware + cheap in-home wireless networking + cheap and fast internet connectivity is driving specialization.

    I'm happy to see it. For one thing, it cuts down on waste. Now, instead of tossing an old laptop, you can repurpose it as a home automation controller or media machine.

    I used to do phone support for Dell, about 10 years ago. Our group was the last one to get a full 6 weeks of training. After us, groups got 3 weeks, then we started outsourcing. Up until then, all of our phone support people worked in the same building as Michael Dell. That was the last year Dell won the award for best tech support.
