Tetra's Go-Anywhere, Brave-Anything Tablet PCs

Few people know it, but Steve from The Carrypad UMPC Journal has the rugged body of a one-man mountain underneath his casual attire.  I think that's why he's drawn to ruggedised Tablet PCs, because only they can cope with the crushing forces of his enormous, Hulk-like hands.  Fresh for his pen-punishment come these three Tetra models from Logic Instrument, on display at the World of Mobility show last week.  Two slates and a convertible, bristling with rubberised bump cases and magnesium chassis, each is capable of surviving the perils of water, dust, salt air and being dropped.

They're well worth a look if you're interested in doing work in the harsh outdoors – or if, like Steve, you can snap a ThinkPad with a simple flex of your eyebrow.
