On June 30, 2011, General Dynamics Itronix released the GD3015, a semi-rugged tablet computer and complement to the company's fully rugged tablets. The goal for the new machine is to provide a wide range of communications and data capture capabilities to mobile professionals working in public safety, utilities, transportation, warehousing and industry field services. And to do so in a lightweight, fanless design that weighs less than three pounds, yet is capable of running Windows 7 Professional.
Price Start around $2400 plus add-ons and Chrome?
The 10.4-inch display uses the 4:3 aspect ratio. It is a transflective design said to be sunlight viewable, so presumably it does not use the formidable Itronix DynaVue technology.
Where does the GD3015 fit in? According to Mark Johnston, director of Strategic Computing Solutions at General Dynamics Itronix, "he GD3015 pairs ruggedness with a Windows-based operating system so budget-constrained IT managers have a computing solution that is easy to deploy, minimizes training costs for users and leverages existing software and operating system configurations." "Budget-constrained" here means a starting price of US$2,400. That's modest compared to fully rugged tablets, but still quite a bit compared to the new breed of media tablets. But then, this is not a gadget you buy at a discount store. It is an industrial-strength tool for the job.

GD300
Rugged Wearable Computer for Military,
Federal/Civil and Commercial Field Service Personnel
The General Dynamics Itronix GD300 combines commercial global positioning and communications technology with rugged computing. The fully rugged, arm- or chest-worn computer weighs less than 8 ounces and operates like an ultra-sensitive commercial GPS unit or, with the click of a cable, interfaces with tactical and commercial radios for secure access to the network.
With the Android™-based operating system, the GD300 easily accommodates current and emerging applications or 'apps' for warfighters, first responders or commercial field service users.
- Designed to support a range of missions and applications
- Lightweight, wearable computer providing real-time situational awareness
- Ultrasensitive GPS for signal acquisition where you need it most
- Fully rugged for any environment
- Compatible with tactical and land mobile radios via a simple cable connection
