Roper Mobile Technology unveiled a new rugged tablet PC today called the Duros. Duros is a Windows XP based tablet PC sealed to IP-65 levels for dust and water and is manufactured to MILSPEC 810F.

The screen is an 8.4-inch sunlight viewable SVGA with resistive touch capability. The processor in the system is either a Geode LX 800 or an Intel Celeron M 1GHz. The system can have up to 1GB of RAM and 120GB of storage space. A 64Gb SSD is optional and the battery is hot swappable.

Connectivity options for the system include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and optional built-in GPS. Operating temperatures for the system are -20C to 50C and Roper says the machine can withstand a 4-foot drop onto concrete.
