Comment on Winmate e430 – How to configure and spec by ruggedandmobile

Hi Larry, The only devices we know of that are rugged and support 4.0+ are the Mitac MIOwork A90 and A100/A105 PDA’s and the Mitac Ulmo 7″ Tablet which can be specced in 2.3 or 4.0. None of these have a Phone/3G though.

We sell Mitac and will be adding these devices to our range as soon as we have tested and OK’d them.

The argument rugged providers use for 2.3 is that there isn’t really all that much (in their eyes) that changed in 3 and 4 for business users, with most updates favouring the smartphone user. We’d argue against that, especially if you’re trying to do anything with NFC and secure WiFi but there we go.

Android 2.3? Have you seen any rugged Android devices that support Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean?

Well I guess they do, but is that like saying a new car looks the same as an existing one because it has 4 wheels? I think it’s a shame to see the function keys going from many devices (See todays post about the HM50), but the keypads are vastly improved on Pidion devices.
