When we first learned of the Fujitsu IS12T, the world’s first handset sporting Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango,” it was rumored to be showing up in the second half of August. Our hopes were crushed, however, when the company officially stated that it should be available the following month “or beyond.” Sure, a September launch would still be on right on time (given Microsoft’s intent of releasing the update this fall), but wouldn’t it be nice to see something come out ahead of schedule? Chin up, folks — the Au KDDI store in Nishi-Kasai tweeted that the IS12T will be released this coming Thursday and is already accepting preorders. And there’s more to the story: even though Nanopho reports that multiple locations are busy taking reservations, Au’s official site is still sticking to its guns about the phone’s September release. Given the tug-of-war taking place between the stores and their corporate boss, next week may turn out to be quite interesting.

We have numerous super-light laptops, a plethora of netbooks, and the iPad to choose from. But some companies still produce portable DVD players. One example is Sony, which yesterday in Japan announced [JP] just that, the DVP-FX950. The player has two selling points: a 9-inch LCD screen that features an LED backlight and a battery life of 7.5 hours (up 25% from the previous model).
Other than the LED backlight, the screen features a resolution of 800×480 and a viewing angle of 180 degrees. Next to DVDs and CDs, the player also has a USB port, meaning you can plug in a USB stick to view JPEGs or listen to MP3s (other formats aren’t supported through USB). The player, which is sized at 227×170.8×34.4mm and weighs 0.88kg, also has an internal speaker.
Sony plans to start selling the DVP-FX950 in Japan on June 16 (price: $390). The company hasn’t said yet whether the device will go on sale in other markets as well.
