Trimble just announced a very impressive rugged tablet computer with integrated GPS capabilities, called Trimble Yuma. Trimble Yuma has a 7″ sunlight readable display, solid state drive with 32GB of space, and 2 integrated cameras both of which are capable of geotagging.

• Intel Atom 1.6 GHz processor
• 32 GB solid state hard drive
• Integrated WiFi b/g
• Integrated Bluetooth 2.0
• Integrated GPS
• 2 integrated cameras
• ExpressCard slot
• SDIO slot
• Outdoor rugged design
• 7″ sunlight readable touchscreen display
• Light Weight (2.6 lb. with standard batteries)

Trimble Yuma runs Windows Vista Business, and meets MIL-STD-810F military standards for drops, vibration and humidity. Its IP67 rating means it’s impervious to dust and water and it operates in temperatures from -30 to 60 °C. Yuma can be mounted on a tripod or pole for data collection, or even secured in a vehicle-mount. Not bad at all.

However do not get your hopes up to see this at a store near you. Trimble Yuma is designed for public safety, field service, forestry, utilities, mapping, and or military related applications. If you don’t have a government contract you probably won’t be able to afford one.
