Fujitsu's AMILO GraphicBooster External Graphics Card For Easy Laptop Upgrades

Fujitsu is set to launch an external graphics card solution dubbed the "AMILO GraphicBooster" sometime in the "next few weeks." Unfortunately, this information was leaked from a presentation, so there isn't a whole lot in the way of details—but we do know that the GraphicBooster is based on ATI XGP technology, it will allow users to connect up to three external displays to their notebook, DVI-D and HDMI connections are included, and it can reportedly deliver a 4.7X performance improvement over the graphics of a small form factor AMILO notebook.

Fujitsu's "Zero-Watt" Monitor Uses Zero Power in Standby Mode

Fujitsu Siemens has developed a new monitor that claims to use zero power in standby mode. This money-saving monitor miracle is made possible thanks to a built-in switch that shuts down the monitor completely when a signal from the computer is absent—and then abruptly brings it back to life when the signal reappears. This sort of technology will prove especially useful for businesses, which is why Fujitsu is aiming squarely at this market when the monitor is released this summer. Fortunately for the rest of us, this new model will sell for the same price as conventional monitors. [Physorg via Treehugger]

Intel To Sell Its Home Server Reference Design for $500

By now you've seen Intel's sexy server: it's the one chosen as a reference design by Velocity Micro and Fujitsu Siemens for their Windows Home Server products. Well apparently Intel is not content to just be the silent partner in this, because it will now market the device as the Intel Entry Storage System, in both the SS2400-E, an EMC-powered fully functioning NAS, and the hardware-only Windows Home Server-ready SS2400-EHW. Intel says the systems will be available in December, starting at $500, so maybe you can cut out the middleman and score one for yourself. [Intel]

HP MediaSmart Server Now Available; Iomega and Others Unveil Windows Home Servers

At long last, you can go order the eagerly awaited HP MediaSmart Server, running Microsoft's lovable Windows Home Server software. It's up at Amazon, Best Buy, CompUSA, and Circuit City, though Amazon is the only one offering any kind of discount from the $750 (1TB) or $600 (500GB) list prices. We'll give you more on the MediaSmart server when we get a unit, and see how it differs from the Norco DS-520 system-builder setup Chen reviewed last week. In the meantime, here are the other big news items:

Pocket LOOX N100 GPS Receiver From Fujitsu Siemens

I guess you can say it looks like there's another member of the LOOX family of GPS devices on the way. Unlike previous LOOX models, which were full-fledged PDAs with GPS built-in, the N100 is being positioned as a portable music player that also GPS built-in. The N100 plays MP3, WMA and AAC digital audio files; if you listen closely, you can hear the people who encode their music using iTunes singing Fujitsu Siemens' praises. The digital audio files are stored on mini SD cards, where 1-GB is the maximum storage capacity and USB does all the hard work. More »

Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook Tablet

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I like the tablet PC concept, but in real life they're kind of glorified PDAs that are excellent for very specific apps and useless as an every day PC. That doesn't really stop me, however, from gawking at them when they come around. This Fujitsu Siemens P1510 is no exception, and with its 8.9-inch touch-sensitive swivel display, 30 GB of storage and easy-to-tote form factor, I think this is a dandy little PC. One problem that does arise is its lack of an optical drive—and its price, which starts at about $3000. More »
