A New R-PDA - Or As I Like To Call It - The Return of Tacfire
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "THOUGHT" @ 01:00 AM
Earlier this week I showed you the R-PDA from Talla-Tech. Well, that was so 2001. This is 2003 and our military clearly deserves better than that. So here we have the all new R-PDA from Talla-Tech. This one sports:
• 400MHz X-Scale, 64MB RAM, 32MB ROM (48MB in the bluetooth model)
• Pocket PC 2002
• External battery pack capable of holding 8 AAs or the BA5800 battery pack.
• Embedded Military GPS
• One PCMCIA III or dual PCMCIA II/I cards.
• Of course, what R-PDA would be complete without the Tacfire communication protocol? :D
This is basically the internals of the iPAQ 3900 ripped out and surrounded with a rugged shell. The iPAQ 3000 series devices have proven to be extremely versatile since their introduction in 2000. I don't think an iPAQ has been on a space shuttle yet, but that is about the only place on Earth or around Earth they haven't gone.
A PDF file is available here. It is also discussed in this Business 2.0 article in the "Networking" section. This R-PDA is expected to be available later this month.
