The Russian (Soviet) Experience in Afghanistan | Rugged Smart Phone

People have been trying to make replicate elements of the Tricorder since the 1990s. But it’s only in the last few years that the dream of creating a genuine Tricorder-type device has seemed within reach.

“The initial reaction to Face ID seems to be skepticism and a lack of trust from users,” Castañon-Martinez said. That’s not uncommon for a new technology. More people are likely to  embrace facial recognition biometrics as more devices with the technology are introduced and sold, he said.

Additionally, asset visibility tools provide mobile device location and health information so that companies can optimize their deployments and avoid unexpected downtime.

Bryan Boatner, director of product marketing for Cognex, agrees, especially with the imminent approach of peak season that will require rapid onboarding for temporary staff. Using “sleds” that grant scanning capabilities and ruggedness to the latest consumer devices, managers can deploy familiar technology while leveraging tools to manage those devices and achieve visibility into hardware that runs different versions of firmware or operating systems.

The barcode scanning case is positioned as a purely retail solution from HP, and I can see it being a useful addition to both the front and back of a store. While it’s not likely to replace dedicated cash registers anytime soon, it could be invaluable for the sort of roving retail employees that help customers while they’re shopping.

One aspect we couldn’t test in practical terms was the IP68/IP69K rating. To achieve IP68 a phone must handle being submerged in a meter of water for 30 minutes. The Armor 3 goes much further than that, handling twice that depth for up to two hours!

What’s truly odd about this behavior is that if you put the camera into video mode, it is entirely smooth. This strongly suggests that still photo mode has a technical issue that could probably be quickly resolved by a good software engineer.

The first thing to keep in mind is that right now the device is running something close to stock Debian Linux with the Xfce desktop environment. It’s not exactly a touch-friendly experience, since touching the screen just moves a cursor. You can’t swipe or scroll, but instead have to move that cursor across the screen. And there’s no touchpad or pointing stick in the keyboard area.

Customers can also choose to personalise their Toughbook-as-a-Service subscription with a number of optional extras, including a trade-in programme, which allows businesses to upgrade their technology without losing the value of their existing estate. Toughbook-as-a-Service also provides the ability to bundle in airtime, MDM and data analytics, for example.

The CoreOS along with CShell will work together, to adapt to any form factor, the codename for the Tablet/Laptop composer is Polaris, which is what will be running UWP apps only.

Another thing to keep in mind is that even if you switch to Windows 10 Pro, there are some applications and features that will never work on a Windows PC with an ARM processor. That includes drivers for some older hardware. So if you have an ancient printer or scanner, for example, it may not work with the Asus NovaGo. Newer devices that use modern drivers should be supported.
