Fujitsu's Stylistic M532 Business Tablet

For all of you out there wondering what Fujitsu is doing about all its business customers, the company has prepared a new product based on NVIDIA's Tegra 3 platform. 

The Stylistic M532 is not another one of those media tablets that everyone has grown accustomed to hearing and reading about. 

Instead, though it has a set of hardware components that don't stand out overmuch, it is sold with software precisely aimed at business users. 

Among the applications that buyers get to use are Norton Tablet Security (protects against malicious Android apps) and Absolute CompuTrace (tracks the tablet in case of theft and encrypts the stored files). 

Additionally, Fujitsu implemented Citrix, VMWare and Microsoft Virtual Desktop support out of the box, plus NitroDesk TouchDown (corporate Exchange e-mail and calendar management) and a suite of Office apps (not specified). 

All these are just bonuses, though. In the end, the physical components and the operating system will determine how many people flock towards the Stylistic M532. 

That said, the Tegra 3 4-PLUS-1 ARM-based SoC (system-on-chip) handles things, aided by 1 GB of RAM (random access memory). 

As people know, this version of Tegra (Kal-El) is a quad-core (or really five core) chip with a clock speed of 1.4 GHz. 

Moving on, Fujitsu tossed in 32 GB of NAND Flash storage, plus a pair of webcams: one of them is at the front (2 megapixels) and the other at the back (8 megapixels). 

Finally, the 10.1-inch WXGA display (1280 x 768 pixels resolution) is covered by a Gorilla Glass panel, for damage resistance. 

The thickness of the product is 8.6 mm and the price is of 549 Euro. US customers won't get to buy it, but Europeans and people from India, Africa and the Middle East will. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is the operating system.
