Poor xTablet. First it’s used as a hammer and now it’s submerged under water by an accented man in a wetsuit. In the latest test of the xTablet T8700, the guys over at RuggedPCReview swam gingerly with the machine all the while tapping away at its screen, amazed that it continued to work, submerged and “without bubbles.” The Jacque Cousteau-like narration had us hoping that a shark (or even a furtive sea turtle) would come along to make things a bit more exciting, but all we saw was some creepy whispering, scuba gear, and uncomfortable silence. We mean no harm to the diver, we just felt as though something really, really bad was about to happen. Video after the break.

Some product manufacturers do things like list specifications or show you pretty ladies to get a piece of your mind. Others use a product as a hammer to prove its durability. MobileDemand did just that, using its xTablet PC to hammer a dozen nails into a board complete with an accelerometer to show how much impact the Tablet PC was taking “without a glitch.” If this doesn’t prove you can use the xTablet PC to build a bench, we don’t know what will. Video after the break, of course.

It may not look all that different from its previous xTablet T8600, but MobileDemand still seems to have found plenty to brag about its new xTablet T8700 rugged tablet PC, which it says offers the “industry’s highest performance” in addition to “superior ruggedness.” That performance is centered around a 1.2GHz Core Duo processor and a standard 2GB of RAM, which certainly isn’t much compared to consumer laptops and tablet PCs, but is pretty uncommon in a rugged tablet of this class, which are usually saddled with a Celeron or the like. On that other, even more important matter (at least for anyone in the market for one of these), you can expect an MIL-STD 810F rating for ruggedness and an IP 65 rating for sealing, which you can see put to the test in video form on MobileDemand’s website. Needless to say, none of this exactly comes cheap, with a hefty $3,795 required to call this one your own.
