Subject: Re: [gislist] Tablet PC (SUM)
Date:  07/08/2004 07:15:01 AM
From:  Steven Timbrook




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

Here are a few basic questiosn for list users with experience using
Tablet PC for field applications. What tablet PCs are recommended for
purchase? Would you suggest using ArcPad or ArcGIS Desktop? Is it
possible to use GPS with tablet PCs? Thanks for your help.
Steve
