rugged handheld 1

petermeachem · Jan 15, 2003

I've just started speccing a job and need a rugged handheld. When the vendors describe one as rugged, they seem to mean either dustproof or waterproof. I need one that is van-driver proof. The drivers need to download worksheets and upload parts used so they can be invoiced. The handheld needs to scan barcodes via a built in scanner and have a sim card so it can communicate via gsm/gprs.

I've been pointed towards the Psion Netpad. Anyone have any experience or better suggestions?

Does anyone have any idea at all about this. I've had a good hunt round other sites and haven't found anything useful yet. Peter Meachem

Can't make any recommendations, but hopefully these will help in seeing the options

Good Luck

Thanks, that's useful. I need to find some recommendations too, according to the adverts they are all wonderful. Peter Meachem
