Duros tablet PC: a rugged gadget

Here’s a real man’s tablet PC, and like any real man, this is a “rugged” tablet by Roper Mobile Technology. Duros tablet is sealed to IP-65 levels for dust and water protection and tested to MIL STD 810F standards for vibration, shock, high/low temperatures and the inevitable drops. However this all comes with a slight cost in computing power, with your only processor options being a 1.0GHz Celeron M processor or AMD Geode LX800, along with a max 1GB of RAM. The optional 64GB SSD hard drive is decidedly not low end, however, and neither is the tablet’s connectivity options, including optional GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and, of course, built-in GPS. No present info on the price tag though, but seeing how it’s incredibly rugged, expect a pretty stiff cost.
