Trimble Nomad Rugged PDA
"Trimble started with an 806 MHz CPU to power Windows Mobile 6 for 15 hours on a battery charge. You can also include up to 1 GB of flash memory, GPS, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, digital camera and barcode reader. Prices range for this portable powerhouse between $1,699 and $2,499 and you can grab one for your favorite outdoor PDA user starting today."
Among the other specs not mentioned above (as if those aren't enough), is the presence of an LED-backlit VGA screen that's fully outdoor viewable (8O), SDIO and CF slots. The Nomad meets the MILSTD-810F military standard and a IP67 rating - which almost justifies the price, though it's a little pricier than other rugged PDAs which admittedly aren't quite in this class. You can check out the product page here.

Good Gosh! Too bad it's hideous! If it weren't, I'd mortgage my soul for that!

I was pretty excited to see the 806 MHz Monahans (PXA320) processor until I realized that it's probably slower than a 624 MHz Bulverde (PXA270). It's actually probably somewhat slower than a 520 MHz PXA270. I'm still waiting for some really fast handheld processors to emerge (to allow super snappy performance on VGA screens).

I am curious to know how you have come to the conclusion that the PXA320 is slower than the PXA270's. Would you mind elaborating?
This test is pretty impressive and dispells your claims so I am very interested in how you come to your conclusion.
