Rugged xTablet T8600 tablet PC handles barcode, magnetic stripe reading

Joining the curious workhorse UMPC / tablet PC arena is the xTablet T8600, which boasts about its ruggedness, barcode scanning, and magnetic stripe reading abilities that it handles when not checking your email and making dinner reservations on the go. Furthermore, the unique design allows for a backlit numeric keypad and directional arrows to be installed beside the 8.4-inch SVGA display, and internally, you’ll find a 1.1GHz Intel Centrino processor, up to 1.28GB of DDR2 RAM, a “dual digitizer / touchscreen standard,” integrated 802.11a/b/g, shock-mounted 40GB hard drive, optional EV-DO / EDGE / GPRS / GSM, Bluetooth, a nine-pin serial port, and a Li-ion battery that can reportedly keep things running for “up to seven hours.” To account for all the beatings it’ll presumably endure, it sports military-grade water-, dust-, and shock-proof characteristics, and can also operate at extreme temperatures. Hope you aren’t too excited, though, as there’s no word just yet regarding pricing or future availability.
