Japan: Fujitsu launches the ARROWS Tab F-05E 10.1-inch tablet with NTT Docomo.

Fujitsu has announced the immediate availability of its new ARROWS Tab F-05E 10.1-inch tablet. Unfortunately for most of us, the slim, water- and dust-resistant, better-than-HD resolution Android 4.0 mobile computing unit is being released through NTT Docomo in Japan only.

Similar in many ways to the company's Stylistic M532, which was released in the U.S. in October, the ARROWS Tab F-05E also benefits from 32 GB of onboard storage with a microSD card for expansion, an HDMI interface for connection to a big screen TV, 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN, and built-in stereo speakers. It's powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, too, but runs at 1.7 GHz and has a fifth low-power core that can kick in when running less demanding apps. 

The 9.9 mm thick F-05E features a 10.1-inch, 1920 x 1200 resolution display panel, is the first Japanese tablet to be supplied with Dolby Digital Plus audio technology, and has been treated to a whopping 10,080 mAh battery that's compatible with high speed chargers. It's also been sealed against water and dust penetration to IPX5/8 standards.

The ICS tablet comes with a new switch-enabled smart fingerprint sensor for security-conscious enterprise users, and a Family Mode feature which allows users to switch to a home screen configuration that best suits individual needs and abilities.

There's also an enhanced version of Fujitsu's Human-Centric Engine that's capable of tailoring the tablet experience to the age of the user. It can customize the screen's color balance, for instance, to compensate for a decline in color sensitivity that comes with advancing years. Additionally, Clear Touch technology is reported to make touch-based operations a little more obvious.

Completing the tech specs checklist are 2 GB of RAM, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, support for Docomo LTE Xi high speed connectivity, the ability to wirelessly connect to DLNA-compliant devices, and an 8.1-megapixel rear-facing camera with an Exmor RS for mobile CMOS image sensor.

Japanese mobile operator NTT Docomo has launched an automatic translation service for voice calls. The LTE/3G-compatible service provides rapid translation between Japanese and Chinese, English and Korean.

The translation is processed by the network, not through the handset or an application, and then the translation provided through voice synthesis.

The service can be used two ways: phone-to-phone or face-to-face. From late November, face-to-face interpretation will be available between Japanese and ten other languages. To use the service, the caller needs the free Android app and the service is also provided for free but voice and data charges apply.

Japan: SoftBank to acquire EMOBILE.

Japan�s Softbank is to acquire smaller rival EMOBILE in a deal set to establish it as the country�s second-largest mobile operator behind NTT Docomo.

Softbank is to acquire JPY180.2 billion (US$2.3 billion) of stock in eAccess, the firm behind mobile broadband specialist EMOBILE.

According to Reuters, the JPY52,000 per share deal represents a premium of more than three times eAccess' closing price of JPY15,070 on Friday.

�We are paying more than triple the current trading price of eAccess because the benefits come from the company's existing customer base,� Softbank Mobile�s charismatic founder Masayoshi Son told reporters today. �We do not think our shareholders will view this as a bad tie-up at all."

It is estimating total synergies of JPY360 billion, made up of customer base expansion (JPY200 billion), network sharing (JPY110 billion) and �other management efficiencies� (JPY50 billion).

The deal will also see Softbank inherit valuable new spectrum to support both its 4G rollout and major new devices such as the iPhone 5.

It noted that the combination of EMOBILE�s 10,000 base stations at 1.7GHz with its existing 20,000 base stations at 2.1GHz would give it an estate of 30,000 �LTE base stations available for the iPhone 5.�

Softbank says it had 34.9 million subscribers at end-August, while EMOBILE had 4.2 million. The combination of the two would give the expanded firm 39.1 million � a 28.8 percent market share - enough to surpass KDDI on 35.9 million (26.5 percent). Market leader Docomo has 60.6 million subscribers, a 44.7 percent share.

Japan: Tokyo court ruled Samsung did not infringe Apple`s patents.

A court in Tokyo has ruled that Samsung Electronics did not infringe on patents held by Apple, a victory for the South Korean company.

The patent was related to transferring media content between devices.

This is one of many cases brought to courts around the world by the two smartphone market leaders.

"We welcome the court's decision, which confirmed our long-held position that our products do not infringe Apple's intellectual property," said Samsung in a statement to the BBC.

Tokyo District Judge Tamotsu Shoji dismissed the case filed by Apple in August, finding that Samsung was not in violation of Apple patents related to synchronising music and video data between devices and servers.

Japan: NICT has developed Daedalus, a cyber-attack alert system. Video.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesùs.

Japan: NICT has developed Daedalus, a cyber-attack alert system.

Daedalus renders attacks on networks visible in real time. The sphere in the center represents the Internet, and the circles moving around it represent networks under observation. The state of an attack is shown using 3D graphics, and can be viewed from any perspective.

"We previously created a system called nicter for observing cyber-attacks. We also built an observation network in Japan, called the Darknet Observation Network, to cover IP addresses not used in nicter. Now, we're observing 190,000 IP addresses in Japan. Daedalus is an alert system using that observation network."

Today's cyber-attacks breach boundary defenses from inside and outside organizations, including the spread of malware via USB memory sticks and mail attachments, as well as zero-day exploits. So, using Daedalus together with conventional boundary systems is expected to improve network security within organizations.

"The blue part in this organization shows IP addresses that are used, and the black part shows addresses that are not used. This character indicates an alert. When you click on the alert, a message showing the cause appears. In this case, only two packets have been sent. But because the packets go from an address that's used to an address that's not used, this indicates that a virus is starting to spread within the organization."

"If this kind of situation is input to our observation network, we can observe it, and find out things like that. The system automatically sends an alert, saying, 'This IP address of yours is spreading a virus using this protocol at this time'."

The technology for this system will be transferred to clwit, which will include it in a commercial alert service called SiteVisor. NICT also provides the system free of charge to educational institutions where nicter sensors can be installed.

Cars 2011 : Nissan Juke crossover

Nissan�s all-new 2011 Nissan Juke crossover vehicle is expected to hit show floors in October. The dramatically styled Juke features a 1.6-liter direct injection gasoline (DIG) turbo, 16-valve inline 4-cylinder engine that puts out more than 180 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque.

 The Juke�s all-wheel drive offers torque vectoring, which can split torque up to 50:50 between the front and rear wheels, or side-by-side across the rear axle. When corning, the torque vectoring AWD system helps reduce understeer and enhances the Juke�s corning experience. The Juke�s unique styling was derived from the Nissan Qazana concept, and  number of other influences including motorcycles and rally cars. The Juke will start at a base price of $18,960, and will be available starting next month (October 2010).

DoCoMo from Japan to launch Samsung Galaxy phone, tablet this year

(Reuters) - Japan's NTT DoCoMo Inc will start selling Samsung Electronics' smartphone and tablet computer this year, with the South Korean maker hoping to win over Japanese consumers that have warmed to foreign devices thanks to Apple's iPhone.

DoCoMo, Japan's top mobile phone operator, has been expanding its smartphone line-up to attract consumers and increase data usage, and will sell Samsung's Galaxy S phone from late October in Japan.
That will be followed by the launch of the Galaxy Tab tablet computer, which competes with Apple's iPad from late November.

Foreign mobile phone makers have long struggled to crack the uniquely developed Japanese market, and even Nokia, the world's biggest handset manufacturer, has been forced to retreat from the market in the past.
Smartphones had a slower start in Japan, given that ordinary cellphones here were already capable of connecting to the Internet and playing music, but the iPhone helped change all that.

Samsung debuted Galaxy S, its answer to the iPhone and its first smartphone sold globally through some 100 carriers, in June. Galaxy S is based on Google's Android operating system.
KDDI also unveiled a smartphone made by Sharp Corp on Monday.
