SPY PHOTOS: new Lifebook spotted ? HSDPA with 7,2Mbit/s and HSUPA with 1,4Mbit/s

The pictures show a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook during the 3 GSM in Barcelona , with some disguise. The machine is almost complete covered.
Very interesting is the fact that it has HSDPA with 7,2Mbit/s and HSUPA with 1,4Mbit/s integrated. So it will be the very first notebook with this new technology integrated.

Under the hood the system will get new Intel processors with more power and less consumption. The Lifebook – codenamed “Helios” is a super ultraportable notebook. This system is considerably smaller than the typical HP, Acer or Dell 12inch systems. It is estimated to weight around 1.? kg. However, no further information available yet if the Fujitsu Siemens engineers managed it to include an optical disk drive into this very small formfactor .
What I could found out during a chat with the booth guys, the new Lifebook is expected to be released soon. The system was displayed on the Sierra Wireless booth.

Thanks for the post and pictures, that's pretty cool about the HSUPA. I'm a huge fan of EV-DO and any improvements offered with WWAN and competition there is great.

Now, how easy would it have been to quickly tear away that white hood and take some pictures of the laptop exposed?

 

Could be easy to remove the white hood, but there was a gorilla watching the visitors all the time

 

Cool photo's... haha a gorilla watching the visitors, haha!

 

If only EVDO would drop in price by 1/2 (for all providers), I would be all over it.

Neat posting, though. One point something kgs? Seems too good to be true, at least for a reasonable < or = $2000 price range.
