Hi All,
Can I tap the hive mind for recommendations for a hand held Rugged PC, that is not a tablet. With the following GPS, Scanner, Bar Code Reader, Camera pretty much a known operation system (Win CE6 ideally)
I would say I keep finding PSIONS but dig a bit deeper and they are life ending. Blush | :O

Really, I have been looking and can find no consistent view one review says X is great, another review from a different site says X is useless...

I have managed to break my PI addiction at the moment. Although I keep logging in to review plant data/live status and keep thinking, need to build some displays for all this but must resist...
Maybe once I get to my new platform in January I'll look at there systems and there PI db and build some stuff to help get my head round the new plant.

I've done a bit of work writing software for rugged handhelds with scanners. Motorola Symbol is probably the market leader and gives the biggest variety of keyboards, screens and accessories (http://www.motorolasolutions.com/US-EN/Business+Product+and+Services/Mobile+Computers/Handheld+Computers[^].)

Two other devices I really liked were the Honeywell Dolphin (which they got when they purchased Handheld Products) and Panasonic's JT-H300[^] which was a real pleasure to work with.

Was not aware of the Honeywell Dolphin (sounds dodgy) off to Google I go...

Motorola makes a bunch of these, they are all pretty good from what I remember.

Anyway, I would question why you would spend $2K for one of these, when you can get a smartphone that does all of that for a lot less money, or something like an ipod touch.

Some of the Motorola families were suggested by me. I get feeling that the Smartphone/tablet option is not preferred as these might get 'lost' or 'walk' with people

I am bit confused on what you are asking, so my guess is either Thinkpad X1 Carbon[^] or Lenovo Ideapad Yoga[^].

Wanting to know what you wrote, I tried to feed that to several translation pages.
