Fujitsu Set to Enter PDA Market

Tokyo, October 5, 2001--- Looking to tap into burgeoning opportunities being created by the convergence of mobile communications and computing technologies, Fujitsu Limited today announced that it will enter the growing global market for handheld Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). Fujitsu is developing and will introduce in the first quarter of calendar 2002 a PDA based on the Microsoft® Pocket PC 2002 platform. The new PDA, which will be marketed as a global product by Fujitsu and its group companies in Japan, Europe, North America and Asia, will be positioned as part of a seamless line-up of computing products for the broadband Internet era.

Fujitsu's PDA will use the newly introduced Microsoft® Pocket PC 2002 software platform, which provides a high-performance multi-task environment, superior multimedia features and excellent connectivity and continuity with existing Windows®-based products.

"Taking advantage of all that the Pocket PC 2002 platform has to offer and building on the success of our existing mobile computing and communications technologies, our new PDAs will be ideal high-performance tools for integrated mobility solutions in sales force automation, supply chain management, and other enterprise applications," said Chiaki Itoh, Group President of Fujitsu's Personal Systems Business Group. "At the same time, we're confident that their advanced music, video and other multimedia features will also make them popular as personal entertainment devices for individual consumers."

As a leading provider of Internet-focused information technology solutions for the global marketplace - including a wide range of computing platforms from high-end enterprise servers to mobile PCs - Fujitsu is playing an important role in building the infrastructure supporting the growth of the PDA market. The company's entry into the PDA terminal market further extends its position as a total supplier of computing solutions.
