Remember the rugged UMPC that we sited a few weeks back, yes here is another addition to that family from Black Diamond Advanced Technology named the “Switchback”. Though the keypad at the bottom of the device reminds us of Razr this device is packed with features.
Developed by Black Diamond Advanced Technology, the SwitchBack-PC offers the same flexibility and connectivity of commercially available UMPCs, but adds an advanced feature set that meets the unique demands of users working in harsh environments.
Designed to meet or exceed military specifications for shock, vibration, dust, moisture and extreme temperatures, the SwitchBack UMPC can truly withstand the abuse of extreme conditions in the field. Equipped with a sunlight viewable touch screen, the SwitchBack can be viewed outdoors in all lighting conditions.
The SwitchBack-PC brings the power of the desktop to a portable, rugged, handheld solution that weighs just three pounds. The first rugged UMPC to have a built-in thumb keyboard, the SwitchBack utilizes never before seen “Parallel Processing Capabilities” to power multiple Operating Systems including Windows XP in combination with Windows Mobile, Windows CE or Linux. Because of its unique parallel processing technology the SwitchBack is energy efficient and has an extended battery life multiple times that of other portable computers its size in low power mode.
