First Fujitsu P1620 pics from Mobile Tech Manor
The Fujitsu P1620 has arrived and is performing the first Vista boot now. Here’s a couple of pics to tide you over until I can get something else up. First up is the little P1620 performing it’s first Vista boot. Second up is a pic of the Fuji next to the diminutive HTC Advantage to show how small this baby really is.

I have a P1610 with 1GB of ram, running vista.
It is sometimes very slow to present the finger print login. As you can imagine, that can be very frustrating. I look forward to hearing if you have that issue with the P1620.
If it helps James, since installing SP1 on my P1610 (I’m running Vista on it) I’ve noticed that the Omnipass login software comes up straight away every time and almost never fails (sometimes it used to refuse to allow me to swipe my finger and would insist that I login).
To the other James, now I’m a bit jealous. I’ve just spent the day playing around with a new Home Server from HP and you’ve gone and ruined my new gadget fun :)
I’d be interested to see the P1620 in action if you have time to do a short video review at some stage. Maybe something that demonstrates how it performs with the faster processor and the extra RAM.
I own a Fujitsu U810 and am very interested in upsizing to the P1620. I mostly want to use the tablet for note taking in OneNote (and very little to no finger touch), so will be extremely interested in your thoughts on frequent inking with the passive touch screen — especially compared to active digitizer tablets like the Lenovo X61, Fujistu T2010 and HP 2710p.
Thanks! :)
@Urban Strata, why don’t you check out the review James did of the P1610 last year, while you wait, as I believe it covers many of your questions.
The P1610 (and I expect the P1620 to be the same) is very nice to ink on considering that it doesn’t have an active digitizer. Fujitsu’s palm recognition technology is excellent and I never get any vectoring. The only downside is that you can’t really use your finger to tap on the screen because it’s too firm which I think negates the benefit of a passive digitizer. Nevertheless, it is very nice to write on.
Sorry, here’s a link to the P1610 review:

Congratz, James on your new toy, I mean portable productivity device!

Jake,
Where did you download SP1?
Is it available now as a free download?
Thanks in advance.
I got it off MSDN I’m afraid (I have a subscription through work). However, I hear that the x86 version will be released to the public in a couple of weeks.
Geez, why are so excited over the size?! Isn’t the same as the 1610, only different guts?
It would have been more exciting if Japan had shipped Godzilla.
In pieces.
In leaking packages.
With instructions in Russian.
Nice to see your new toy arrived. Look forward to hearing more about your long-term experience with it.
