Thank you to Adam, Rob and Korine for your responses. The three tablets that people mentioned are the Panasonic Toughbook, Compaq TPC1000 and the Fujitsu Lifebook T Series. The Panasonic is durable for fieldwork and has a built in GPS antennae. The Fujitsu Series and Compaq are not ruggedized and are difficult to view in sunlight.
It is recommended to buy a tablet that has a reflective screen not one that is backlit. Reflective screens help when working in bright sunlight. Both the Fujitsu and the Compaq require a cable convertor or USB to connect to an external GPS receiver. Other recommended accessories include a shoulder harness and protective cover for the tablet.
I would love to here comments from any other tablet users.
thanks Steve
