Olympus
R100
With a little help from an experienced friend, Olympus
gets into the handheld game.
Olympus
has entered into an agreement with TouchStar Solutions to introduce
its new R1000 family of rugged handheld computers into the North
American market. The R1000 family combines toughness and resiliency
with high performance, all in a sleek form factor, making this
handheld a great choice for white and blue collar markets.
Powered
by Windows CE.net 4.2 or Linux, the R1000 features a quick Motorola
FreeScale processor and up to 128 MB of RAM, along with integrated
Bluetooth and up to 256 MB of ROM. A combination 802.11 WiFi/Bluetooth
model is also available.
The
R1000 can withstand multiple four foot drops to concrete, and
is sealed to IP54 specifications for dust and moisture resistance.
TouchStar and Olympus are targeting the healthcare, hospitality,
field service, airline, rental car, transportation, and route
accounting markets.
Although
the R1000 is a rugged device, its price tag is hundreds of dollars
less than other rugged devices, with prices starting from $899.
