I am looking at purchasing a tablet PC to display WxWorx weather, and
would appreciate the advice of anyone who is doing this or looking into it. Criteria: 1. Must be tablet PC (don't want a laptop) 2. Must run WIN XP, don't want CE 3. Display size isn't critical (nor is resolution). Would like to have 800x600 and at least 8 inch diagonal. This rules out the PDAs. 4. Daylight visible, with controllable brightness (for night) - I've been trying to find transreflective screens, as they do well outdoors. Problem is not many tablets have these. 5. Integrated bluetooth/802.11b/GPS would be nice. If not, must have expansion slots to support these technologies. I'm looking to use the BT for the WxWorx data, and I know there are CF or PCMCIA GPS cards. 6. Minimal cables (see #5). Ideally, I would only have to connect power. 7. Ruggedized casing - nice to have but not necessary. Ruggedized seems to add about 50% to the purchase price. 8. Cost. Oh yeah, it should be cheap too. Suggestions? I've been looking at the Fujitsu ST4121 @ $2300. It is close to what I want, but a bit short on expansion ports. http://webshop.fujitsupc.com/fpc/Eco...es=AA&ptype=TB Thanks, Nathan |
