Xplore debuts rugged iX104C4 tablet PC

August 18th, 2008 by

Xplore Technologies isn’t exactly the most prolific purveyor of rugged computers, but it looks like it’s finally managed to churn out a follow-up to its circa-2006 iX104C3 tablet PC, with its new and slightly improved iX104C4 now making its official debut. This one retains the same 10.4-inch form factor of its predecessor, but gets a 50% brighter Dual Mode AllVue Xtreme display (still XGA), along with a 1.2GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 1GB of RAM, a 120GB hard drive, and all the usual wLAN, wWAN, Bluetooth and GPS options. As has been the case with Xplore in the past, there’s no word on a price but, then again, most of the folks that wind up using these in the field won’t exactly be paying for them out of their own pocket.

Group Sense’s Palm OS line-up give way to lone, Linux-based phone

July 4th, 2008 by

Filed under: Cellphones

Well, it looks like Group Sense’s once mighty line-up of Palm OS-based handsets has finally been shown the door with the whole lot now replaced by a single, Linux-based device. From the looks of it though, it doesn’t seem like the new handset is about to work any wonders for the company, with the “real smart” Xplore WF100 boasting only a 1.5-inch 128 x 128 display, and such exciting features as a built-in antenna, speed dial, and “call shock.” No word on price or availability just yet, but we’re guessing most folks won’t have much trouble containing their excitement over this one.
