The Fujitsu iPAD is a lightweight handheld device that was introduced by Fujitsu, in 2002. It runs Microsoft's CE.NET operating system. It supports 802.11b wireless LAN to connect wirelessly with other company infrastructure.[1] The device can support inventory management as well as credit card payments.[2] In January 2010, when Apple announced the Apple iPad, there was a naming controversy between the two devices.[3] To settle the trademark infringement allegation, Apple purchased the trademark rights from Fujitsu.[4] Some trademark analysts estimate that Apple paid Fujitsu over US$4 million in exchange for the March 17, 2010 assignment of Fujitsu's iPad trademark rights to Apple.
