Ford to offer TabletPCs in F-Series pickups

http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000923066095/

Ford, Motorola, and California Custom Sport Trucks have teamed up to offer Stargate Mobile touchscreen PCs as dealer-installed accessories in F-Series pickups starting next year. Ford introduced what it’s calling the “mobile office” at the Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Vegas, which includes the Stargate-manufactured TabletPC, cellular broadband, GPS, and a printer. The PC certainly isn’t cutting edge, sporting a 1 GHz Transmeta Crusoe processor, 256MB RAM, 4GB flash memory (no hard drive here, folks), 8.4-inch SVGA screen, and PCMCIA and CompactFlash slots. However, since Ford is targeting this not at mobile programmers and desgners but at construction contractors, the setup should suffice for basic bidding, ordering, and invoicing tasks.
