Turn A Printed Page Into A Touchscreen With This Brilliant Concept
Realising that the oft-promised ‘paperless office’ may never actually come to fruition, researchers at Fujitsu are working on a backup plan that gives printed documents similar tablet-like touchscreen functionality. Using a tabletop projector, webcam and other sensors, the system can precisely detect finger movements and motion in 3D.
New Tablet Camera Tech Conjures Up An Invisible Keyboard
Relying on your tablet’s on-screen keyboard saves you from having to carry clunky accessories, but it also gobbles up a good chunk of usable screen real estate.

Getty Images Will Take A 20-Gigapixel Image Of The 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony
If you know a friend who is going to the London 2012 Opening Ceremony in London, you might want to remind them to wear their Sunday best.

Fujitsu Lifebook Concept Is Ridiculous… ly Awesome!
I remember in the middle of the noughties how we all pined for the completely converged device. Something that did everything well enough that you only need to carry it. This concept from Fujitsu kind of does that, but not really, by packing a digital camera, a smartphone, and a tablet into a single laptop body.
Fujitsu’s Rail Thin Phone Is The Skinniest Ever Approved For The US
Fujitsu’s Arrows μ smartphone, which is newly available in Japan, is the slimmest phone to ever receive US Federal Communications Commission approval, which means that Americans can get their hands on one as soon as Fujitsu sets itself up with a US carrier.

By the end of this year you could be playing with a quad-core Android phone courtesy of Fujitsu. We just played with the company’s newest prototype. It’s fast, but what would you do with all of that power?
