LifeBook U820 is a robust portable computing device developed by Fujitsu exclusively for those who seek performance in a diminutive form factor. It’s a convertible notebook that packs cutting edge hardware for optimum speed and jaw dropping multimedia performance. The LifeBook U820 charges a little bit extra as compared to other devices but it’s really worth it.

Like many other mobile computers the LifeBook U820 is also powered by an Intel Atom Processor Z530, which is known for its awesome computing capabilities. The processor is paired with a 1GB of DDR2 RAM running at a speed of 533MHz. So obviously this little Lifebook is nowhere near the processing power of an ordinary laptop like the Fujitsu-Siemens LifeBook T5010. Nevertheless, for its size the U820’s processor power is very respectiable and more than enough for watching high definition movies, playing 3D games or multi-tasking with various applications open at once. The screen size of LifeBook U820 is 5.6 inches only. It’s a WXGA display that is touch enabled and can support resolution up to 1280×800 pixels. Storage options include one 120 GB Toshiba HDD @ 4200 RPM. There are plenty of connectivity options including USB, WiFi, Bluetooth and others, making this computer perfect for browsing with Safari on Windows.

The LifeBook U280 sits in between a smartphone and a netbook. The keypad is kept small to maintain the compact form factor. This is the only downside of this device but if you are comfortable enough to use a mobile phone then you can easily master the keypad of this LifeBook too.

Up until now we have seen Mozilla, Opera, Chrome and Internet Explorer competing with Apple Safari in the web browser market but now a new player named Bolt has also entered into the arena. Developed by Bitstream, the Bolt browser is aimed at offering fully fledged Internet browsing on low profile mobile phones. The beta version of Bolt is now available for download at boltbrowser.com.

Like Opera the Bistream has also got clusters of servers that are dedicated to fetch web pages and compress them into proprietary code so that they can be downloaded at the client side in no time, even if the phone’s processing speed is slow. According to Bitstream the compression used by them more intense as compared to the Opera’s compression and thus the Bolt’s operating speed is much better. The Bolt can be used on low-end mobile phones, not just high-end models like the HTC Touch HD, but does not sacrifices performance and functionality. It offers full Internet browsing experience and has got built-in streaming support for YouTube videos.

Bolt is based on Webkit, the same web engine that works behind Apple Safari but the Bolt introduces some unprecedented features like ‘split screen mode’. Apart from this the new browser has got all the standard functions such as favourites, history, RSS feeds, address bar, auto complete etc.
