Panasonic have become the latest company to launch a product to directly rival Apple's iPad.
The firm have unveiled the Toughbook H1 Field, which is designed specifically for mobile workers, such as maintenance workers, law enforcers and field sales personnel.
The Toughbook is the first rugged tablet Panasonic has created and is ultimately designed to be functional, rather than good looking. To get to this end stage it's been put through thorough vigorous military style testing such as vibration tests, moisture tests and 6 feet drops.
One of its great features is that it's water, dust, spill and vibration resistant and can operate in extreme conditions such as very low or high temperatures. It's sure to be highly popular with mobile workers thanks to its 6 hour battery life, scanner, camera. WiFi and Bluetooth Connectivity.
Dubbed the "world's toughest PC", the Toughbook comes with a three year guarantee and lifelong support. And so far the response has been good.
“Customers love the ruggedness and the swappable battery concept in our tablet,” says Kyp Walls, director of product management for Panasonic Computer.
The bad part? It'll set you back about $3,400! Ouch! Before you become too disappointed you should remember this is only a guide price for when it's released later this month. The launch of the Toughbook could see other manufacturers following suit, with a more compact, affordable model sure to be released in the coming years.
