The tablet uses a magnesium frame, View Anywhere outdoor display and a built-in handle. The hard drive is shock mounted and has an accelerometer to detect drops. Options include a 32Gb SanDisk SSD drive and digital cameras, RFID and bar code scanners. The machine runs on Windows XP Tablet or Vista Business. The system will retail for $2600 to $4000.
