Fujitsu. It’s an organization that has strayed from the normal buyer space lately, however they are definitely crashing the party with a new LTE tablet. The “Arrows Tab LTE (F-01D)” is slated to land first in Japan this October, bringing LTE to a market that has do well on advanced phone system. We believe that it will not be long before it passes to other markets as well.

However the LTE inside is only half of what makes this particular slate so lustworthy. There’s a 10.1″ display, a dual-core CPU and Android 3.2, with an 8.6mm body that weighs just 565g. The 7000mAh battery is also impressive, but it’s the external padding that really wows us. The 11.3mm-thick model has an IPX5/IPX7 waterproof design enables users to enjoy video and mobile TV even while relaxing in the bathtub (seriously!), and the “hand gesture control” enables operations to be performed with simple hand gestures without touching the device – perfect for checking recipes or performing other tasks while the user’s hands are wet or messy.

In conjunction with the launch of these inaugural Xi-compatible tablets, DOCOMO will offer four new broadband applications, including the popular Hulu and Qik Video services, which are specially suited to Xi’s high-spec mobile video/TV, communications and online gaming capabilities. Prices has yet to be announced, but having a waterproof tablet is likely to demand a price premium.

Regrettably, the clean, clear renders did not come with a host of confirmed features, but they do show an 8MP rear-mounted camera with dual LED flash.

The front side is displayed in a folio-style case, with a exclusive holder for the HTC’s “magic pen” – also referred to as a stylus.

This means that the 10.1-inch HTC Flyer follow-up will almost definitely come with HTC Scribe technology using digital ink and offering super-accurate highlighting and selecting.

The HTC Puccini is also rumoured to be running Honeycomb (although it’s anyone’s guess as to whether it will be Android 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2) and rocking a 1.5GHz processor.
