CES 2012: Fujitsu launches totally water-proof tablet

The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has seen the rise of the tablets and the ultrabooks. From Lenovo, to Samsung to HP, everyone is busy launching either one, or both of these products. But while tablets and ultrabooks look wonderfully fancy, as a user one always wonders, how sturdy are they? What happens to the clumsy user? What if I drop my tablet in water? (The correct answer to that one, is it will get fried!)

But no more. Fujitsu has come out with a new tablet range called the ARROWS tablets which are completely water-proof. No damage will come to the tablet even if it is submerged in upto five feet of water, for nearly 30 minutes. The tablet which runs on Android’s Honeycomb is quite light, just under 600 gms and has two cameras, a 5.1-megapixel on the back and a 1.3-megapixel in the front for video calling.
