The Tacter R-PDA 88 is a heavy-duty Pocket PC that's going to end up in some exciting places, I'm sure. Not thrilling from a pure spec point of view, but this is one Pocket PC you don't need to worry about dropping.
"Tactical personal computers, or rugged hand-held computers as termed by the company, provide command and control, navigation, situation awareness and data-handling capabilities, and can survive high temperatures and impact. The Marines have ordered $16 million worth of such equipment thus far, with Tadiran serving as their exclusive supplier. The company views the deal as a step toward future sales to other parts of the American armed forces. Tadiran has already been contacted by the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army, which, until now, bought this type of equipment from Litton."
