Just got word that the ARMOR X10gx rugged Tablet PC is now certified for the Sprint 3G network. While built-in mobile connectivity is falling out of fashion due to mobile hotspot and phone tethering, not many of those devices are designed to take a beating. For reliability in harsh environments, on-board connectivity in a tough device is often the only option.

Nothing new on the specs; the X10gx is still a rugged tablet with pen + resistive touch input on its 10″ display. Its integrated Gobi® 2000 WWAN mobile broadband radio is now approved for the Sprint 3G network. For more details, check out the website and/or my review, including video of it in action.
