Geekzone Reviews the Telecom New Zealand Triton Pocket PC
Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "ARTICLE" @ 06:00 AM
"Telecom New Zealand will soon introduce a new Windows Mobile Pocket PC to the local mobile market. The Triton is a Korean made (Cyberbank) CDMA 1xRTT compatible ruggedized Pocket PC and I am told this is the first English transalation of this device... Being a ruggedized device, the primary target market is field force automation. The Triton is water and dust resistant and its body stands drops of up to 1.4m into a concrete floor (no, I have not tested this). There are four rubber pads around the case and all connectors are protected with rubber covers, making it ideal for workers who need to take their handheld devices outdoors."
Wow! 8O That thing is HUGE (even for a ruggedized device)! In its defense, it supports a ton of connectivity options including USB, mini-USB, and PC Card (Type I) connectors. It's a CDMA device (as opposed to GSM), so this is not a global solution as far as I can tell and the OS is Windows Mobile 2003 SE (as opposed to Pocket PC Phone Edition). Anyway, if you're into rugged devices, give this a look-over and let us know what you think.
