Fujitsu is trying out its new color newspaper FLEPia in restaurants in Tokyo. The newspaper uses color e-paper to display news for customers. When the device isn’t in use it displays ads for customers who are sitting at a table with it. The device only uses power when the images on the screen are being changed, so it isn’t a huge power users and only has to be charged overnight when the store it’s sitting in is presumably not open. The papers are getting a trial run through the end of the week in Tokyo to see how they do, and we imagine that they work fantastically. Would you read an electronic newspaper while enjoying your coffee in the morning? We think so. [via SlashGear]

Nine months ago, a Nintendo DS and a Fujitsu notebook walked out of a seedy motel room– sweaty, disheveled, appearing satisfied. After a long labor, Fujitsu has given birth to a dual-screen notebook, the Fujitsu N7010. That smaller, 4″ screen above the keyboard features touch control, allowing you to set up an icon-based start menu, a file explorer or otherwise. While this is a little gimmicky, its hard to knock Fujitsu for being the first to do this.
What else is cool about the Fujitsu N7010? It’s a serious notebook. It features a 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB ram, 256MB ATI Radeon HD graphics, 320GB of storage, a Blu Ray player, a 1.3MP camera and standard wifi/bluetooth connectivity. When it does hit stores, expect the N7010 to sell for around $1500. [via engadget]
