09 February 2010
Handheld Europe has announced the launch of its new Algiz 7 tablet, which possesses extensive built-in features plus IP65 and MIL-STD 810G ruggedness.
The Algiz 7 ultra-rugged, mobile, 7in-widescreen tablet runs a Microsoft Windows 7 professional operating system and features an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor with 64GB solid state hard drive and 2GB of DDR2 RAM.
The Algiz 7 comes standard with Bluetooth, WLAN and GPS as well as a built-in 2Mpx camera with LED light. Optional 3G cellular capabilities provide high-speed GSM/UMTS/EVDO data transmission. The Algiz 7 is ready for Gobi™ 2000 technology and has built in antennas, which means that you'll be able to work on your choice of wireless frequency anywhere in the world.
Handheld's unique MaxView™ screen technology is the latest in outdoor view ability, ensuring the user the best outdoor screen-visibility available on the market. The hot-swappable 2,400mAh dual battery pack lets you change batteries without shutting down, thus giving you the run-time needed from your tablet.
"Our partners have come to expect cutting-edge technology from Handheld," said Thomas Löfblad, managing director of Handheld Europe. "With the development of the Algiz 7 our target was set high and we are very pleased to conclude that not only have we achieved this target but actually surpassed it. Our new product meets all the market requirements: lightweight, powerful, massive safe storage, ultra rugged, best-in-class screen, all features fully integrated, and hot-swappable batteries. The fact that we are able to offer this at a very compelling price makes it all the more attainable. The Algiz 7 hits that sweet spot and will undoubtedly be just what field users have needed."
"Not all our customers will be familiar with the benefits of Gobi 2000 technology," continued Löfblad. "It supports both 3G and EVDO. This is truly a technology that allows our users to go anywhere in the world and use the Algiz 7 with high-speed data networks."
The Algiz 7 is IP65-rated and meets stringent MIL-STD-810G military standards for withstanding humidity, vibration, drops and extreme temperatures. Weighing in at just under 1.1kg, it is one of the lightest 7in tablets on the market.
The Algiz 7 will be shown at trade shows all over the world in the coming months and orders can be placed immediately. Customer shipping will begin in March 2010.
