Motorola TLKR, No Vowels for Walkie-Talkies

Mark Wilson — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 10:29:37 EDT

You know Motorola is stepping up their game when they begin ripping the grammar-strained vowels from a product line. Take the TLKR, it's Motorola's new line of walkie-talkies meant to convey a sense of style while you are calling in for airstrikes on the cootie patrol. The first version will be the T3, offering eight channels, 20 hours of battery life and up to a three-mile range. Where was this technology 15 years ago?

The luxury T5 will offer 121 channels, 16 hours of battery life and 3.7 mile range. Plus the T5 will feature hands-free functionality (which, though funny, could be useful in certain survival situations). Though no prices have been announced at the moment, the T3 and T5 will be released in October when the walkie-talkie army is set to overthrow cellphones and the internet for global communications domination.

Panasonic Toughbook T5 Has an Armstrap

Alright, laptops are laptops. But this ruggedized Toughbook has of all things, an arm band. To keep your rugged notebook attached to your arm while you AIM and run from pumas? Yes. It also has a 12-inch touchscreen, and WLAN cellular data jammed inside of its magnesium-alloy shell.

To stretch battery life to 15 hours, the machine does the best it can with a Core Solo U1300 processor.
