How Rugged is Rugged?

People often ask me why they should consider rugged devices. To be honest, they aren’t for everyone and every job. They do have some significant benefits over regular consumer devices. Of course, the size alone can be the biggest disadvantage. Someday I’ll write an article and list out all the pro’s and con’s. For now, watch this YouTube video showing off what the guys at Intermec like to do with spare devices in their free time. ;)

There’s another video here showing the newer and more popular CN3 model – I’m not sure what’s better, the bucket of water or the power sander. Don’t try any of these tests with your run of the mill HTC, Samsung, or Palm device!
