Eurotech Introduces HRC-4200 And HRC-3100 Rugged Handhelds

Windows CE 5.0 may not be the most advanced mobile operating system on the planet right now, but there's still a place for it on certain devices. Certain devices like Eurotech's new rugged family of handhelds. The HRC-4200 and the HRC-3100 are both running Windows CE 5.0 and are based on the low power PXA architecture, and both of them can connect to the Eurotech/Isidorey cloud platform so customers can create end-to-end data solutions that provide immediate data visibility throughout their organization without the need to buy, set up and maintain an IT infrastructure.


The HRC-4200  is a rugged powerful handheld computer featuring a unique large half VGA color display. It's a unique screen orientation, but it's designed to be more mobile than most rugged handhelds, and it also has built-in WWAN, WLAN, Bluetooth and IrDA. There's even a barcode scanner, an integrated GPS receiver and on-screen signature capture.

On the other hand, the HRC-3100 is designed for ergonomics, and while it's also rugged, it's super lightweight and can handle both data and mobile voice. Pricing hasn't been made public for either unit just yet.
