Panasonic unveils Android-powered Toughbook tablet

Panasonic is extending its Toughbook brand to the Android tablet market. At the InfoComm in Orlando, Florida – the Japanese company unveiled first such product to "address a current gap by delivering a product designed with security, functionality and real-world reliability in mind."

The "typical for Toughbook" rugged device rocks a 10.1-inch XGA high-brightness display which is said to be easily readable in outdoor environments and perfect for markets like field service, home healthcare and public safety. Moreover, GPS is also on board, as well as Wi-Fi and optional embedded 3G/4G mobile broadband connectivity. We are hoping Honeycomb is running the show though unfortunately do not have that confirmed. Also no information on availability date and pricing.
