Dell Streak’s Resilient Glass Display Put to the Test (Video)
May 31, 2010 Dell
Dell Streak has been discussed over and over again for the past weeks, as we’ve learned all there is to know about it. However, how many of you know that this tablet is a rugged device? This ability is proved in the video at the end of the article, as the glass display on the device gets tortured and tested for resistance.
There’s even a tough name associated to the display, “Gorilla Glass”, making the 5 inch slate even more appealing. Also dubbed Dell Mini 5, the Streak was put to the test by Engadget, who tortured the prototype they had.
Streak was stabbed with a pen (repeatedly) and it didn’t even show a scratch after the process… Wow!

Panasonic Launches Rugged Toughbook H1 Field Tablet
Feb 12, 2010 Panasonic
Panasonic has just launched a brand new rugged tablet, the Toughbook H1 Field, that gets pictured below. The device sports a 1.86GHz Intel Atom Z540 processor and a 10.4 inch XGA dual touch LCD, that’s highly usable in direct sunlight and responds to stylus input and finger control. This tablet is tough enough to survive a 6 feet drop, extreme temperatures and rough weather.
H1 Field’s connectivity options are very varied, with WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, optional Gobi2000 WWAN (EVDO and HSPA 3G) available. On board of the rugged Panasonic tablet you’ll also find an optional GPS, fingerprint security, a 2D barcode scanner, a RFID and SmartCard reader, plus a 2 megapixel camera with LED flash.
The device uses a battery that lasts about 6 hours and we learn that Toughbook H1 Field also comes with dual hot swappable power packs. Back to hardware specs, we find 2GB RAM and a 64GB SSD and on the software side there’s Windows 7, or the XP Tablet Edition option. The price for this gadget is $3,379 and the launch of the product is scheduled for March 2010.

Dell’s Rugged Tablet Greeted by the FCC
Oct 25, 2009 Dell
A recent FCC filling by Novatel reveals a rugged Dell Latitude XT2 laptop, now dubbed the Latitude XT2 XFR. This is in fact a rugged tablet, that comes with a button layout similar to the one on the XT2, but as an extra, you’ll get thick rubber bumpers on the sides and a thicker monitor hinge.
Also, we find out that the new model also comes with a trackpad that will be accessible when the device is in tablet mode. Novatel describes the laptop as a “convertable Tablet PC with 850/1900 CDMA/EVDO/GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSPA WWAN Radio”, meaning that the device will support quite a bunch of wireless connectivity options.
The pictures showing this rugged tablet under a faucet reveal that it’ll probably also take on other elements than rough treatment from the user, maybe dust, water and vibrations.
