been designed to 'meet stringent MIL-STD-810F military standards for
drops, vibration and humidity' whilst also boasting IP67 rating making
it 'impervious to dust and water and it operates in temperatures from
-30 to 60 degrees C'.

Billed as being aimed specifically at 'public safety, field service,
forestry, utilities, mapping, military and other outdoor or
service-related applications' the 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 powered Trimble
Yuma rugged UMPC, which measures in at a highly portable 9.0 x 5.5
which boasting a thickness of just 2 , runs Microsoft Windows Vista
Business and sports a 7 1024 x 600 (WVGA) resolution sunlight-readable
display, a 32GB solid state drive, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
connectivity, built-in GPS as well as two geotag-enabled cameras, two
USB 2.0 ports and a 34 pin Expresscard and SDIO slot.

Connectivity in the field is vital for mobile workers, said Shawn
Curtis, marketing manager for Trimble's Mobile Computing Solutions
Division who introduced the Yuma Rugged UMPC. Today, they demand
integrated solutions that are reliable and easy-to-use, so they can be
more efficient and avoid the need to transcribe information once they
return to the office. With the Yuma tablet, Trimble delivers just that.
Now, workers can carry their office wherever they work. Its dynamic mix
of ergonomic design, ruggedness and computing speed comes at a cost of
ownership that's very attractive in the tablet computer market today.

The Trimble Yuma Rugged UMPC is expected to commence shipping from April
though, at the time of writing, pricing details are yet to be confirmed.
