The new devices feature a faster processor and full VGA display, and are available with either Windows CE 5.0 or Windows Mobile 6.0 Classic or Professional editions, according to the company. The new Workabouts are available in two forms; the Pro C has a 52-key alphanumeric keypad, while the Pro S features a 25-key numeric keypad. They support a variety of field installable expansion modules, including scanners, imagers, RFID modules, Wireless LAN (WLAN), and Wireless WAN (WWAN) radios. Psion says the units are also compatible with expansion modules from the first generation Workabouts."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/psion_workabout_gen2.jpg" /><br /><br />Need a rugged WM 6 device? Check out the second generation <a href="http://www.psionteklogix.com/public.aspx?s=com&p=Products&pCat=283&pID=4397#">Workabout Pro</a>. How rugged? The company claims: <i>Rated to 26 drops from 5 feet to polished concrete, the WORKABOUT PRO is built to take it</i>. Not quite usable as a hammer, but that's pretty sturdy! For industrial users, will this new version compete favorably when you're evaluating new device rollouts?
