Engadget is all over the newly announced Xplore
Technologies ruggedized Tablet PC. The iX104C2DV (try saying that three times fast) features both active and
passive digitizers (that's penabledand touchscreen respectively) and built-in EV-DO. The technical specs
are modest - this is a unit designed for durability, not performance and I tend to agree with the Engadget kids that
the price tag is probably out of reach for private citizens. Slap a little camo paint on this puppy and it'll fit right
into an Abrams tank.Xplore Technologies ruggedized Tablet PC with EV-DO

1. Hi Guys,
I've been lucky enough, as part of my single minded Tablet PC evangelizing, to evaluate an Xplore Tablet in Australia for several months. They are absolutely RUGGED. One point to note is that as an option they supply you with the brightest outdoor viewable screen on the market - trademarked "Allvue"; when viewed outdoors the optical layers within the screen combine to reduce screen reflectivity. As part of my evaluation I really put one to these to the test by dunking it underwater (yes! underwater) and it kept working. You can see this on my blog.
They're definately worth the money if someone really needs something tough. As for me I just don't get outdoors enough. LOL.
PS. You guys rock!
