On November 7th Xplore introduced the iX104. xploretech.com The press release describes it as "usable mobile computing tool, the iX104-TPC blends superior durability and portability with high performance, extended functionality and optimum versatility". Note that it advertises a "lithium polymer phosphate battery". Now, is there anyone besides VLNC in that business? "The ergonomic 4.5 lb iX104-TPC features a fully sealed magnesium housing, patented industrial removable bumper protection system, a 10.4” XGA Hi-Brite color LCD (indoor and outdoor versions), Wacom® Penenabled™ Sensor technology, long lasting lithium polymer phosphate batteries, dedicated Tablet PC and programmable function keys, sealed on-board ports and a range of durable add on “Xplore options” including GPS receiver and video camera. Additionally, the Tablet PC integrates a powerful Mobile Intel Pentium III Processor - M at 866 MHz, a supporting Intel® 830 chipset, a 133 MHz system bus that allows quick access to system resources such as memory and graphics, and 512KB L2 cache, which speeds overall application performance. By combining Intel’s innovative low voltage mobile processor with Xplore’s thermal management system, the need for an internal cooling fan was eliminated, which reduced the design’s weight and size. Integrating Xplore’s long lasting, hot swappable, lithium polymer phosphate battery and Enhanced Intel Speedstep® technology and Intel’s Deeper Sleep, dynamic power management features that reduce core voltage up to 66%, further enhances battery performance, thereby allowing mobile works to operate away from power sources for longer periods of time." And their headquarters just happen to be in Austin! Maybe we will indeed hear something real at this conference call! ............Jacques
