Fujitsu Tablet description from another guy selling them on Ebay. He
describes his units as 'excellent':

<snip>
This unit was previously used in a KIOSK application, this means that (Good
news first) the battery was never used, and as such is in great condition,
expect 3+hours of operation, but I can't warranty anything about the
battery.  The 2 units from this lot that I put through their paces, I had
to
discharge the battery a few times before it's "Smart" lithium ion
battery
actually knew how long it really had left. After I did this, they
consistently gave me 3 hours of operation, with little power saving
features
enabled. (And now the bad news) The screen has repetitive finger press
scuffing.  For most of these units, the scuffs disappear when the screen is
turned on, but you can clearly see the scuffing on the screen with the unit
off.  After the unit's powered on, it's really a non-issue though.  The
pictures show this pretty well.  These units also have a security badge
glued to the back of them, and if you pry off the badge, it says
"STOLEN
PROPERTY" in red with a phone number to call. Blah, I hate the idiots
who
devised this scheme, I wish they'd have thought about a way to retire units
for resale when they put on that security badge. These units are totally
legal though, you can call the 800 number on the badge and it will verify
that they are not reported stolen. The cases on these units are in
otherwise
great shape, with at the most some light scuffing on the corners, but all
port covers and flipups are in place and working. There may be some small
light scratches on the screens, basically normal use patterns.

WARNING: Many unscrupulous dealers on eBay are selling machines from the
same lot as mine (i.e. With the same defects) and not saying in their ads
that the Machine has a scuffed screen, not showing you the actual
photograph
of the machine you're buying, so you have no way to tell. Most of these
same
dealers are unable to acquire pens for their points, so they're selling
them
without pens and not telling you!
<snip>

I'll be voting for excellent.

Justin.
