The Getac E100 meets military and ruggedisation standards MIL-STD-810F and IP54, which basically means it's resistant to dust …

Hell, I'll buy it for just that alone. I just spent 2 weeks on a motorcycle trip trying to use my Nokia N800 as a GPS, after my laptop died.

There's few things more frustrating than being on the side of the road in an unfamiliar city going "where the f*ck am I?!" and trying to read an almost totally washed out screen. (it was still better than a Tom-Tom, Garmin, et al, in that it used maps downloaded from Google instead of the usual 14-years-out-of-date stuff)
