Handheld Group’s says it has begun shipping the new version of its highly popular Algiz 7 rugged tablet computer.

The European manufacturer of rugged mobile computers, PDAs and smartphones
says its updated Algiz 7 is considerably faster than its predecessor, with better storage capacity, improved security and quicker communication capabilities.

The ultra-rugged Algiz 7 tablet PC is small, light and fast, with multiple connectivity options and a wide range of functions, ideal for field workers demanding a super-durable product that is tough and powerful, yet light and easy to work with.

It meets stringent MIL-STD-810G military standards for withstanding humidity, vibrations, drops and extreme temperatures, and with its IP65 rating it keeps dust and water out as well.

“We’ve made significant improvements to the new Algiz 7,” says Handheld Group CEO Jerker Hellström.

“Better storage, a much faster processor, improved security, a better camera and better communications are some enhancements — and we’ve kept the price point the same as for the previous version of the Algiz 7.

“This product should remain the tablet of choice for anyone looking for portable, professional field performance.”

The Algiz 7 weighs a mere 1.1 kilograms and has a 7-inch widescreen touch display that features the new and unique MaxView technology, providing spectacular brightness in outdoor conditions — even direct sunlight.

It runs the state-of-the-art Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate operating system. GPS navigation functionality is fully built in.

Like the rest of Handheld’s lineup of rugged PDAs, smartphones and mobile computers, the Algiz 7 is specifically developed for use in tough environments in industries such as mining, geomatics, logistics, forestry, public transportation, construction, utilities, maintenance, military and security.

The new Algiz 7 is available for orders immediately.
