It was apparently announced back in October, but this MobileForce CA27 Tablet PC is new to us. It’s a military spec unit, though—perhaps it was here all along, waiting for its moment to strike. It’s not a beast, but ruggedized, tank-battling equipment rarely is. The slate-style unit has a 1.1GHz Pentium M processor and a 40GB hard drive, not to mention its touch-screen display (and absolutely no keyboard). Plus it has (hot?) swappable communications modules that let it switch between GPRS/GSM, GPS, Wi-Fi, Dial-Up—whatever.
Like a lot of modern military hardware (but rarely the weapons, unfortunately), you can buy this one yourself for four grand.
