AIS Outdoor Ultra-Rugged PDA

Some users like to abuse their gadgets. Working on their computers for hours on end, sending text messages while swimming underwater, using the e-book reader as an alternative chopping block and so on. You know these abuses would curtail the lives of your favorite devices, which is why AIS Industrial Innovations provides a PDA that can take on any abuse.

The AIS RPDA37 is an ultra-rugged military PDA that is operational even while under a sandstorm, immersed underwater (as long as it is not soaked for over a minute), or when accidentally dropped from about 60 inches. Powered by a 624MHz Marvell PXA270 processor, it has 256MB of RAM, a 3.7-inch AVGA resistive touch screen display, a built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity options, as well as optional GPS and GPRS technology. The rugged PDA runs on Windows Mobile 6.1.

The AIS RPDA37 is available for US$1899. It is worth the price? We hope so, but the size alone could make you say, "Whoah there."
