Fujitsu Is Bringing New Tablet to Legal Market (Law.com)
Because of its computer-level power, the Stylistic Q702's battery life is a fraction of the iPad's; however, an optional attachable keyboard dock bumps the battery up to about nine hours. Meanwhile, it comes with a number of security-related features, including HDD and BIOS password protection, an embedded TPM (Trusted Platform Module), and a biometric fingerprint scanner.
Tablets are working their way into business process in several large sectors of the economy. Typical username/password authentication is even less convenient on tablets than computers with keyboards.
