Glacier Computer, a leading designer, developer and supplier of rugged industrial computers announces shipment of the Ridgeline W200 wearable

The W200 is made of a reinforced magnesium alloy which maximizes strength and minimizes overall weight. At only 10.2 ounces and shaped to the contours of the arm, the W200 combines the same features of a standard computer with a device that provides the convenience and ergonomics of a wrist worn instrument. The W200 boasts a 3.5” color display with touch screen, backlit keyboard and a hot swappable battery pack. The wireless functions of the W200 ensure continuous connectivity regardless of the user's location with plug and play Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS modules. Using the Windows CE or Linux operating systems, the unit can be quickly configured to access any remote host system through integrated wired or wireless interfaces.

“The W200 is a great compliment to our Ridgeline Series of portable computers’” states John Geary, Vice President of Sales for Glacier. “The W200 crosses multiple verticals and is a powerful differentiator in today’s competitive landscape” says Geary.

The hands-free operation of the W200 overcomes the physical limitations associated with normal hand-held computers. This allows users complete freedom to continue everyday activities using both hands while having full computer access at all times. In addition to an electronic compass, the system also integrates the latest and most innovative features, such as a tilt and silent reckoning, which allows critical battery savings when the unit is not in use.

The hands-free versatility of the W200 makes it of special interest to Emergency Services, Security, Defense, Warehouse, Field Logistics and any area where access to large amounts of information is necessary. The Ridgeline W200 joins the current Glacier line of rugged computers developed for data collection.

Hello , it Look Like the Pip boy 3000 From Fallout 3 and For Those who dont know what Pipboy is First Read this and then play Fallout 3

The Pip-Boy 3000 is an arm-held electronic device manufactured by RobCo Industries in the mid-21st century and is one of several Pip-Boy models that were issued as standard to Vault-Tec Vaults. The Pip-Boy 3000A is the first series of the 3000 model. Later series improved upon the functionality and appearance of the model. However, in the opinion of some technicians, the series overall is very reliable. A major difference between the 2000 and 3000 models is that the latter model is attached to the arm of the user by biometric seals. These seals can't be removed without the aid of a trained technician
