Fujitsu to launch world’s first water-resistant tablet

Fujitsu, a company known for producing low-end PCs and cellphones is making its foray into the tablet market with its water-resistant tablet. Dubbed as the Arrows Tab, the device boasts of features such as a 1 GHz dual-core processor and LTE connectivity.

The Arrows Tab comes with IP certification that means that it is also dust-resistant. The device is also equipped with interesting specs such as a 10.1-inch WXGA display with 1280 x 800 pixels. It has a 5-megapixel camera at the front and a 1.3-megapixel one at the rear. Both cameras are touted to be waterproof. 

It runs on the Android 3.2 – Honeycomb OS along with an LTE radio. The tablet offers 16 GB of storage and is GPRS and GSM compatible.

According to rumors, Fujitsu is set to roll out a new user interface for the Arrows Tab. Along with numerous Android apps, Fujitsu might provide some apps especially designed for the Arrows Tab. 

Water can play havoc with any electronic device. A little bit of moisture in a device’s circuitry almost ensures its certain death. But IT companies are trying to address this common and detrimental condition associated with their gadgets. After the launch of water-resistant phones such as the Xperia Active from SONY and the Motorola Defy Plus, Fujitsu has provided us with a water-resistant tablet.

As of now there is no official word about the Indian release of this tablet although Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo would be offering the tablet next month. The price of this tablet remains unconfirmed as well.
