Posted 04/02/09 at 04:11:24 PM by Paul Lilly
Motion Computing may not have went entirely back to the drawing board, but it did offer some groovy updates to its rugged C5 and F5 tablet PCs. Motion also said its making its redesigned PCs available for use on the Verizon Wireless mobile broadband network.
"Motion Computing is recognized for solutions that improve productivity for highly mobile users by creating devices that are designed to work the way the users do," said Anthony A. Lewis, vice president of open development at Verizon Wireless. "Now with anytime access to the Verizon Wireless network, Motion tablet users, from hospitals to construction sites, can be more productive when away from the office."
The redesigned specs of the two tablets now include 801.11a/g/n, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a 64GB solid state drive (SSD), and longer battery life. Motion has also made available an external battery charger. Full specs for the C5 and F5 can be found here and here, respectively.
Both tablets are available now with the C5 starting at around $2,200 and the F5 at $2,800.

"Have WENT"?!? Seriously?

I stopped correcting minor typos around here a long time ago, thinking it a fruitless endeavor, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE correct the "have went" in the first sentence of this article. That's just egregious.
It should read, "...may not have GONE entirely back..."

How come you guys never put anything about the Panasonic Toughbook on here? I mean Panasonic has a unit just like these (The H1), and units that trounce the Dell rugged units, and units that work with all three WWAN providers in a single adapter card. Every review I read about "Ultra Ruggeds" and "Business Ruggeds" always put the Toughbook on top. Why don't you run an article about something they have? I always see the "rugged" computers that get put on here and they never have anything the Toughbook doesn't already have or make up for in durability.
