HP tr3000

[C J Campbell]

I see HP has introduced the HP Compaq tr3000 (apparently named after a
breadmaking machine). It is supposed to be a 'rugged' tablet PC, capable of
being left out in the rain, dropped from three feet, etc., and generally
exceeding milspec standards for hardiness. The 8" screen is supposed to be
readable outdoors.

I was wondering how well this machine would work as an electronic flight
bag, running Jeppview, for example.

And no, I am not interested in extending the Windows vs. everybody else
debate. If the sole purpose of your reply is to tell me what a piece of (#*$
Windows is, you can keep your opinion to yourself.

If you go around beating the Bush, don't complain if you rile the animals.

It appears to be about $3600, but I expect the price will come down in a few
months.
