Flying over Vegas....

There has been some great videos lately but this one is a MUST SEE if you want to check out the GottaBeMobile guys doing some crazy things with an xTablet T8700 from MobileDemand. They were absolutely NUTS!! They dropped it, threw it, bowled with it and finally Warner took it for a Magic Carpet ride.

The xTablet T8700 tablet has a 1.2 ghz Core 2 Duo processor, support for 2 gb of ram, SSD, and an outdoor viewable display. This button-activated touch + active digitizer Tablet PC took every abuse these wild and crazy guys could think of ... and it still was working when they were done ... impressive to say the least.

This is a Tablet PC built for the vertical market - truck drivers, delivery personnel, construction, field-force workers, and more. The integrated keyboard and optional barcode reader make it a natural for taking inventory in places like beer coolers, food freezers, and more. When you see the damage we tried to inflict on the T8700, you'll come away quite impressed. I know we were.

Check out the video at GottaBeMobile and watch the abuse they inflicted on the xTablet T8700!

Evidently the link was not working. I republished and it appears to be fine now. In case it goes awry, here it is:

Hmm...

I have a friend who is building a plane (Cozy MKIV). He has been looking for a small rugged digitizing computer for engine monitoring and non-essential stuff...

If this uses a passive digitizer maybe it is something to look into..
