Feb 09, 2010 New Algiz 7 rugged tablet from Handheld is ultra mobile A new Algiz 7 ultra-rugged tablet PC has been released today by Handheld Europe.

The Algiz 7 is an ultra rugged mobile 7-inch widescreen tablet that runs Microsoft Windows 7 Professional operating system and features an Intel Atom 1.6 GHz processor with 64 GB Solid State hard drive and 2 GB of DDR2 RAM.

Bluetooth, WLAN and GPS come as standard with the tablet, as well as a built-in 2-megapixel camera with LED light. Optional 3G cellular capabilities provide high-speed GSM/UMTS/EVDO data transmission.

The Algiz 7 is ready for Gobi™ 2000 technology and has built in antennas, which will work on any wireless frequency anywhere in the world.

It is IP65 rated and meets stringent MIL-STD-810G military standards for withstanding humidity, vibration, drops and extreme temperatures. Weighing in at just under 1.1 kilos makes it one of the lightest 7” tablets on the market.

The tablet has hot-swappable 2400 mAh dual battery pack, allowing the user to change batteries without shutting down.

“Our partners have come to expect cutting-edge technology from Handheld”, said Thomas Löfblad, Managing Director of Handheld Europe. “

"Our new product meets all the market requirements, lightweight, powerful, massive safe storage, ultra rugged, best in class screen, all features fully integrated and hot swappable batteries. The Algiz 7 hits that sweet spot and will undoubtedly be just what the field users have needed.”

“Not all our customers will be familiar with the benefits of Gobi 2000 technology”, continued Löfblad. “It supports both 3G and EVDO. This is truly a technology that allows our users to go anywhere in the world and use the Algiz 7 with high speed data networks.”
 
The Algiz 7 will be shown at trade shows all over the world in the coming months and orders can be placed immediately. First customer shipping will begin in March.

 




Intermodal transportation: The next wave?Holidays are almost over, for those lucky enough to go on vacation. I spent my time away from the sea, and well above sea level. Just for reassurance. As you might know, the majority of Dutch grounds are below sea level (about 65%), and we keep dry feet by pumping water. Without that, we would build our sandcastle around "Amersfoort at the Sea" (a city some 80km inland). However, spending time in the Alps, some 800m above sea level, my rectangular box driven mind did not come to a complete standstill, wondering about hinterland transportation.
