Getac’s rugged PS535E Windows Mobile handheld does GPS

March 03rd, 2008 | Category: Pdas / Tablet Pcs

We’ve seen ourselves some major ugly in the past when it comes to rugged devices, so while that new Getac PS535E won’t be swiping any work from Jonathan Ive in the near future, it won’t manufacture him cry either, which is certainly a step in the right direction. The internals are decent as well, with GPS, 802.11b/g WiFi and Bluetooth, a 400MHz Samsung processor, 64MB of SDRAM and 2GB of flash storage. There’s a transflective 3.5-inch QVGA touchscreen fronting the device, and Windows Mobile 5.0 Premium is holding it all together. No word on price or availability.
