TACTER Rugged Pocket PC For Military
Talla-Com has put together a rugged Pocket PC based on the Pocket PC 2002 OS. Just a few of its features:
� 206MHz StrongARM, 64MB RAM, 32MB ROM
� 16bit Reflective screen
� Optional internal bluetooth radio
� 1 Type II PCMCIA Module or a dual Type II/single Type III Module
� PCMCIA Internal Dual Channel Communications Controller, Mil-Std-188-220, JVMF, Mil-Std-188-184, Tacfire, AFAPD, MTS, TCP/IP, X.21, X.25, 2/4 Wireline. (I have no clue what most of that is, but I want Tacfire on my Pocket PC just so I can say it has "Tacfire.")
� Optional Military GPS
A PDF file is available here.

Most of these are communications standards employed by the U. S. Army to allow forward observers to report information back to Command and Control centers. Most (such as Tacfire and JVMF) are for passing info to artillary fire control centers. They may or may not be useful for your day job Ed. :wink:

And don't forget, even with that rugged shell it still fits in your pocket (assuming you are wearing BDUs, that is).

Please, please, please...
Just because we are discussing a rugged Pocket PC for the military, does not mean it's O.K. to discuss world politics. Please limit your responses to the Pocket PC itself...
Did I remember to say please? :wink:

Indeed, that's what I was thinking, except so much more badass.  It does look like they started with the 3650 reference design and went from there.

It probably is an iPaq inside. When this thing most likely started development, the iPaq was the top dog in the PPC World. Fastest Processor, most memory, Sleeve Technology that gives them access to PCMCIA cards plus additional battery life. What's not to like? Everything they need in an off the shelf part.
