Still another StrongArm win for Intel in the handheld market biz.yahoo.com Ten O'Clock Tech: A Handheld That Can Take It By Arik Hesseldahl How careful are you with your PalmPilot or Pocket PC handheld? If you dropped it in a pitcher of iced tea at lunch, would you suddenly experience a sinking feeling in your stomach? Do you sometimes want to reach for your personal digital assistant (PDA) during a downpour only to stop short because the rain will ruin it? TouchStar Technologies, a unit of Williams Companies (NYSE: WMB - news), has introduced a new handheld that might be worth a look. The TouchPC Voyager is a handheld computer that dares you to play rough with it. Designed for use in the field under tough conditions, it's rugged enough to survive immersion in up to 3 feet of water, and is encased in flame-retardant plastic. It doesn't come with a stylus, but the people it's designed for would probably just lose it and opt instead to use the stylus they were born with: their finger. And there's plenty of room for that. The 6-inch touch screen displays large buttons that are easy to push, even with heavy gloves on. Inside, it's got up to 64 megabytes of RAM, or memory, and is powered by an Intel (Nasdaq: INTC - news) StrongARM processor, running at 206 megahertz. While that may be slow compared to other Intel processors running at 1,000 MHz or so, for an embedded processor, 206 MHz is fairly powerful. It runs Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) Windows CE version 3.0.
