Sony let slip a bit more information about their PlayStation 3 motion control tech today, giving those who were anxious to hear more about it at E3 this year a little bit of reprieve from their desperate need to know more.
Motion Computing have announced new Verizon EVDO WWAN and SSD options for their C5 and F5 Tablet PCs. Buyers of the two slate-format touchscreen PCs now have a choice of integrated 3G together with WiFi a/g/n and a new 64GB SSD.
Any rubber-clad gadget can claim to be rugged, but it takes some preparation to put your shiny new product through MIL-STD-810F ruggedization testing. It’s tough when it’s a cellphone; making an entire Tablet PC stand up to the same drops, dust, water and more is quite the challenge. Still, that’s what Motion did with their new J3400 rugged slate, and they’ve released some of the videos of the testing it endured.

We may only have found out about the Motion J3400 rugged Tablet PC earlier this morning, but Rob Bushway over at GottaBeMobile has been putting it through its paces for the past week or so. That means a two-part video overview and plenty of pictures, including some of the J3400 broken down to show the ruggedization inside.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new, full-sized slate format Tablet PC, but Motion Computing seldom disappoint. The new Motion J3400 Rugged Tablet PC is, as the name suggests, a rough & tumble capable slate with a 12.1-inch WXGA active touchscreen – with optional View Anywhere outdoor usability – plus 1.2GHz or 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ULV processors, 2GB of RAM and an optional 64GB SSD.
Notebooks, MacBooks, netbooks, now tablets: Microsoft’s new Windows 7 pre-beta has had another chance to do its thing, this time on Motion Computing’s diminutive LS800 Tablet PC. GottaBeMobile dug out the 8.4-inch touchscreen slate and, paying no heed to its “CPU challenged” 1.2GHz Pentium M processor, did a fresh Windows 7 install. Considering this computer would choke with Vista, to say Windows 7 was a success is an understatement.

Look for Motion 2 Energy to announce their development of the first mobile device external charger on Monday. This charger would work to charge devices by means of using energy caused by motion that is converted into electricity.
Tablet PC manufacturer Motion has updated its handle-blessed range of C5 and F5 slates with new storage options, accessories and mobile broadband. The C5, which Motion describe as a Mobile Clinical Assistant (MCA) intended primarily for health workers, now has a choice of 80GB traditional hard-drive or a 32GB SSD, together with optional EV-DO.
ViewSonic has long been one of the best LCD manufacturers on the market, so it’s not surprise that they eventually decided to give the whole digital picture frame thing a go, and now they have. They have new 7, 8, and 10 inch models that are available just in time for Mother’s Day.
This little robotic arm comes as a kit that requires some assembly, but once its done you get this badass robotic arm. It can pick up a maximum of 100 grams, it grasp items up to 1.7-inches in diameter, and even has an LED light for night time use.
