Apple continues to make noise in the enterprise as consumers, enamored with the device, insist on bringing the device into the office. But the other end of the market — mobile devices made specifically for mobile workforces — is heating up as well, and DAP Technologies‘ newest rugged tablet is the latest in a long list of rugged devices that target the field service sector.
The Windows-based M9000 series can run both the CE and Embedded versions of Windows’ mobile operating systems, which, according to RuggedPCReview’s Conrad Blickenstorfer means “DAP Technologies can offer a nice, state-of-the-art rugged tablet no matter which of the two Windows platforms a customer’s applications are running on.”
On the device’s ruggeddness, Blickenstorfer writes: “Like all DAP handhelds, the M9000 is ultra-rugged and highly configurable via its sealed expansion bay that can accommodate various ports, modules and interfaces.” The device is capable of absorbing multiple four-foot drops and is dust and water resistant.
