| Otterbox Protection for Your PDA
Jonathan Soanes 2005-10-29

Firstly thanks to Techmate Handhelds who supplied the Otterbox Armor 1900 for review.
PDAs are most commonly associated with use in the office or home. As such we see the main stream suppliers focusing on stylish designs
featuring small dimensions, light weight and sleek appearance. These features are generally mutually exclusive with designs for
industrial robustness and environmental protection. PDAs have emergent roles to play in the industrial sector where the environment
and rough handling will shorten working life considerably.
As a direct result of this requirement there are a number of casing systems being released to protect a standard PDA and make its use
more applicable to the industrial user.
Open Field Communications over the last 4 weeks has been reviewing and testing the Otterbox Armor 1900 to ascertain its suitability for
protecting PDAs running PocketHHT.

US Company ProComSol have released a Bluetooth HART modem that is accessable directly from your Pocket PC, mobile phone or other Bluetooth-enabled mobile device. The HM-BT-BAT is a HART modem that is easily pairable with any Bluetooth-ready HART master and provides instant access to any HART-enabled field device.

The HX2700 series in my opinion represents the most powerful Pocket PC available today. Maybe a potential user would be attracted to the 'glitter' of an SVGA enabled PDA like the HP HX4700. However the limiting factor (as with so many PDAs today) is useable memory.

| iPod Shuffle 512/1GB from Apple
Gavin Turner 2005-06-22

Ok, so it has nothing whatsoever to do with process control, but damn is it cool. Apple's latest entry in its iPod range is small, light, lasts forever and is dead sexy. Doubling as a USB memory key, there's absolutely no reason why the boss shouldn't furnish your laptop bag with one.
