Trimble Rugged Yuma Ultra-Mobile PC
Trimble today introduced the Yuma rugged tablet computer, an all-in-one outdoor computing solution that can transport a user's office to the field, forest, desert or boardroom. Known for its family of rugged handheld computers, Trimble brings the same durability, reliability and feature-rich design to the Yuma's versatile tablet configuration making it a powerful mobile computing solution for public safety, field service, forestry, utilities, mapping, military and other outdoor or service-related applications.
The Trimble Yuma tablet is a fully functional computer that runs the Windows Vista Business operating system. Standard features include integrated WiFi connectivity, Global Positioning System (GPS) and two geotag-enabled cameras. The Yuma tablet is expandable via two USB 2.0 slots—a 34 pin Expresscard and SDIO slot. The seven-inch sunlight-readable WVGA color touch screen is ideal for a host of mapping and form-based applications.
The versatile Yuma tablet brings full office capabilities to the field in a mobile package with its Microsoft Windows environment and wireless connectivity. With this true all-in-one computing tool, a mobile worker has greater flexibility for use. The Yuma tablet is at home in the harshest outdoor conditions as a hand-carried computer, mounted on a tripod or pole for data collection, or secured in a vehicle-mount for use as a computer on the road. It is equally adept in a climate-controlled office.
The Yuma tablet delivers the same survivability and versatility users expect from Trimble's outdoor rugged handheld computers. With a 1.6 GHz processor and a 32 GB solid-state hard drive, the Yuma tablet computer has no moving parts. This allows for operation in extreme arctic cold, hot desert sand or in a vehicle on unimproved roads. As with other Trimble rugged mobile computers, the Yuma meets stringent MIL-STD-810F military standards for drops, vibration and humidity. Its IP67 rating means it's impervious to dust and water and it operates in temperatures from -30 to 60 °C.
Approximately the size of a hardback book (5.5 inches high x 9 inches wide x 2 inches in width), the Trimble Yuma weighs only 2.6 pounds. It provides instant access to the Internet via expansion ports or a third-party cellular modem or satellite phone. The functionality of the Yuma tablet can be further expanded with an optional office docking station for connecting to an external monitor, printer or other office peripherals.
"Connectivity in the field is vital for mobile workers," said Shawn Curtis, marketing manager for Trimble's Mobile Computing Solutions Division. "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 tablet computer is expected to be available in April 2009.

Trimble Yuma Rugged Tablet Computer
Trimble, the world leader in outdoor rugged computing, brings you the new Yuma rugged tablet computer, able to withstand even your challenging work environment. Safeguard your software and data in the face of dust, sand, mud, humidity and extreme temperature. If this sounds like your everyday outdoor rugged reality, take a closer look at the Trimble Yuma rugged tablet computer. See how easy it is to conduct inspections, collect information, capture photos and communicate with headquarters, all with the assurance that your data is protected.
Survive-ability
The Trimble Yuma rugged tablet was designed to be fully functional in any outdoor environment – no matter how extreme. The first challenge with computing outdoors is keeping the elements out. Yuma has an ingress protection rating of 67 (6=dust tight; 7= protection against effects of immersion from 15cm to 1m). Why this level of protection? Dust on electronic components can lead to overheating, moisture wicking, and reduced electrical conductivity. Water (either penetration or condensation of humidity) may short electrical components, causing permanent damage if the unit is powered on.
The second challenge is protection against shock, vibration, and extreme temperature fluctuation. Outdoor rugged design means your computer keeps working when you jump out of the vehicle to do work in the middle of a winter cold snap, or when you need to seek refuge from desert heat in an air conditioned vehicle. Outdoor work tends to be active and transitory. Tail gates make great desktops. They also have an increased risk of drop. The Yuma’s design incorporates a solid state hard drive to eliminate moving parts and provide additional protection against the stress of impact and vibration

I Read This on the Official site That All the outdoor rugged handhelds from Trimble meet the military's rigorous MIL-STD-810F standards for vibration, shock and temperature extremes. All come with an IP67 rating against water and dust. And they're not just tested in a lab; Trimble handhelds have been proven by thousands of users in all kinds of weather and the toughest outdoor conditions.Is This really true? Maybe Who Knows
