Dolphin 7850 Announced
Posted by Jon Westfall in "HARDWARE" @ 06:00 AM
"The Dolphin 7850 is purpose-built for scan-intensive, in-premise retail and warehousing applications. Featuring user-focused ergonomics and industrial-grade construction, the 7850 is designed to increase productivity and maximize your return on investment."
If you've ever wished you could, say, drop your windows mobile device from 5 feet without worrying whatsoever about it, and you want to scan some barcodes (or pretend to shoot someone), then here's a device for you! Seriously, it's always interesting for me to see the rugged devices as I have no use or experience with them. I find it a bit weird to imagine using this device for email or calendaring, making me think that sometimes, Windows Mobile may be overkill. What do you guys think?
