It was hard enough to differentiate the ‘true’ Tablet PCs from fujtisus’ older tablet-format machines when TPCs first hit the market. Having this product able to be used in a slate config would reopen that whole can of worms – “Why can’t I run tablet PC applications”.

It’s enough that ebay sellers add confusion by labelling older 3500 and C500s as Tablet PCs, as VARs, we’d be right back to having to explain the differences between TPCs and touch-screen laptops. I’m also sure Fujitsu doesn’t care to cannibalize their higher margin TPC sales. I do also believe the B series has been available for some time now.
