The docomo Tablet ARROWS Tab LTE F-01D, the first Android-based tablet manufactured by Fujitsu Limited, also boasts a thin, lightweight body, measuring 11.3mm thick and weighing just 597g. Its IPX5/IPX7 waterproof design enables users to enjoy video and one-seg mobile TV even while relaxing in the bathtub.

In conjunction with the launch of these inaugural Xi-compatible tablets, Docomo will offer four new broadband applications, including the popular Hulu and Qik Video services, which are specially suited to Xi’s high-spec mobile video/TV, communications and online gaming capabilities.

In addition, Docomo will partially reorganize its device lineup by establishing a separate series for tablets, called docomo Tablet, in recognition of the growing number of tablets in the market and the differences in usage and needs compared to smartphones. Going forward, Docomo will work closely with content providers to steadily expand the range and attractiveness of docomo Tablet content for enhanced user experiences.
