... hi everybody, this is stabilo checking in.

I'm looking for Pocket PC 2002 or Phone Edition -compatible hardware for a fleet of hundreds of mobile workers - they need IE on one of the above OSs, GPRS, GSM with GSM Data, GPS functionality and a 15 hours min. battery life in a pretty tough housing, about IP44 class (will tolerate rain and dust, can be dropped 1 meter on concrete).

There isn't much of this kind around yet, is there? I've looked into Symbol and Intermec and they come very close, it's just usually either the GPRS or the GPS requirement that can't easily be met in a package that would fit any sort of a pocket... anyone with a pointer in a good direction? Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
