These guys know how to build hardware, but sadly we're having to go with the big boys as management is concerned over Motions ability to build and support the 1,000's we'll be needing over the next few years. A shame really.

]]> <![CDATA[Motion Computing F5 Tablet is Highly Evolved Speak N' Spell]]> This tablet was originally designed for the clinical/health care environment (the motion C5 - the first mobile clinical assistant). This is why the tablet looks the way it does, with no moving parts and very few openings (its semi-sealed design allows it to be easily cleaned with things like germicidal cloths and such to prevent the spread of germs between patients - a very important feature in the health care field) The hospital I work at recently trialed one (not bad for what we need it to do).

The F5 tablet is just a clone of the C5 with a few minor changes. The only differences are instead of a "disinfectant"-resistant resin they have a "chemical"-resistant chasse (from the looks of website the only difference is the word they used) The F5 comes with the "view anywhere" display & a 3 year warranty standard (they are options on the c5), and they have added a Ev-Do network card.

No, seriously.

I guess my dream device would be a $400-$500 tablet PC that is the size of the Eee...

]]> <![CDATA[Motion Computing F5 Tablet is Highly Evolved Speak N' Spell]]> Haha! I knew that tablet's shape reminded me of something!

]]> <![CDATA[Motion Computing F5 Tablet is Highly Evolved Speak N' Spell]]> I bet Motion wasn't expecting this kind of reception for their new tablet. Jkontherun called it yawn-worthy, Giz compares it to a Speak N' Spell...

Guess it'll be a fun day for their marketing department

]]> <![CDATA[Motion Computing F5 Tablet is Highly Evolved Speak N' Spell]]> how about a hinged handle that folds into the back of the thing? it seems like that design wastes a lot of space that could be used for screen/ hardware.
