Fujitsu Loox Review and Japan Release Date

Fujitsu LooxThere is a review of the Fujitsu Loox Pocket PC due out in Japan on 2nd
August here: http://www.tekguru.co.uk/PPC_Reviews/LOOX/index.htm.

Main (only?) advantages over the Genio are built-in Bluetooth, jog dial and
action button on left side. Disadvantages include smaller screen, slightly
heavier and bulkier, no PC card jacket option, at first glance less bundled
software (including no dictionary), no USB host functionality. Also I'm not
confident about the technical details, but the Genio SD slot can also use
I/O cards which I believe are those which outside the scope of flash memory,
I'm not sure the Fujitsu can.

Price is expected to be similar so I'd say only people who really need
built-in Bluetooth would be better off with the Loox rather than the Genio.
