In addition to letting loose a string of expletives, those who have lost a phone or been a victim of phone thievery have probably reacted with the following: "Nooooo! My contacts!"

Mobile innovator Tenbu Technologies has come up with Nio, a Bluetooth security tag that links to any of your belongings. If your laptop, phone, keys, or even child move out of range, an alarm sounds.

The gadget has the potential to save your items and the valuable information they carry, like contacts.

Fujitsu unveils the LifeBook UH900

Update (10/12/2009; 1810hrs): Fujitsu has further advised that the price is not firm. We will bring you more information as details become available.

Update: Fujitsu has informed CNET Asia that the Fujitsu LifeBook UH900 will be available in January 2010, and have an estimated retail price of S$1,800 (US$1,278.86).

The Japanese PC maker today announced the latest addition to its LifeBook family, the UH900. Weighing just 500g with a 204 x 106.5 x 23.8mm footprint, this is possibly the company's smallest and lightest handheld PC to date.

One of the things you'll probably find familiar about the UH900 is its form factor. Its longish and ultramobile design certainly brings to mind the Sony Vaio P series which made its debut earlier this year. In fact, both laptops feature the Intel Atom Z530 processor and SSD storage. While Fujitsu incorporates a smaller 5.6-inch screen (versus the Sony's 8-inch display), the WXGA resolution (1,280 x 800-pixel) ensures that there will be minimal scrolling when surfing the Web or handling documents, though it is unknown how tiny the text will be on the small panel.

Yesterday, Dell announced the availability of the Vostro V13, a new addition to its small-business Vostro line of laptops. The big news here is that it's the company's first ULV thin-and-light for the business sector, an area that seems to be a big focus factor in a down economy when lots of small business entrepreneurs are looking for affordable portables. We had the chance for a quick up-close hands-on look at one, and it's definitely an attractive little laptop.

CNET snagged the first journalists' demo of the new JooJoo (formerly CrunchPad) Web slate on Fusion Garage CEO Chandra Rathakrishnan's San Francisco media tour. Quick impressions: Yeah, this is a really cool device. Everyone reading a tech site like CNET Asia will want one. But will they pay the US$499 going price for it? We don't think so.

The JooJoo Web slate is based around a 12.1-inch diagonal 720p capacitive touchscreen. The specs include: 1,366x768-pixel resolution, a built-in camera, mic, and speakers, one USB port, and a card slot. There's 4GB of cache memory. What's the processor? Rathakrishnan wouldn't say. He also won't say who makes the touchscreen.

The hardware is slim and pleasing to hold. The screen is gorgeous, and huge, and the plastic back is gently curved. The unit is very slim, thinner than a MacBook Air. There are no buttons on the device, save the single power switch.
