Like so many other IT companies, Fujitsu has been working on its very own tablet, and it seems that the Windows 7-loaded device has become the subject of its maker's latest official video.

Consumers may remember that, around CES 2011, a few weeks ago, Fujitsu was revealed to have been working on a slate.

It wasn't given a name, but some of its specifications were uncovered, such as the Intel Atom Z760 processor, designed specifically for such electronics.

Said chip is backed up by 2 GB of RAM and complemented (and/or supplemented) by such things as a removable battery, dual cameras and Microsoft Windows 7.

Even when it was first introduced, the model was said to be serviced by a so-called special Windows skin, meant to enhance functionality.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that too little was known about to product in terms of hardware, or at least not enough for anyone to know for sure if it will be any better than all other Windows 7 models out there.

Since this sort of slates have been losing in terms of popularity to Android-loaded ones, Fujitsu had to take more unusual steps towards promoting its creation.

Thus it was that it released an official video starring Meinolf Althaus, in which he describes consumer tablets as chocolate bars that are only good for consumption, not content creation (he uses a hammer for emphasis).

He then goes on to explaining how Fujitsu's own device is different, being meant for corporate content creation.

Needless to say, he makes a special mention of how the Windows 7 experience is like a scratchy kitchen sponge used for utilitarian tasks, while the custom-built UI layer Fujtisu came up with is like a silk scarf.

Basically, the video says Fujitsu's unnamed tablet will stand out, when it finally become widely available at least, through a smoother operation.
