Both units include an Intel XScale 400MHz processor, VGA or mono display, 64MB of memory, a 1D laser scanner for reading UPC codes, and a combination of any three wireless modes: IEEE 802.11b (Wi-Fi), wide area (GSM or GPRS), and Bluetooth.

Symbol are the manufactures chosen to supply Coca Cola with 28,000 ruggedized devices, very much like this one. You can get these devices in either CE .Net 4.2 or Windows Mobile 2003 flavour. VGA or mono, hmmmmm, difficult choice there! :wink:
