Running either Windows CE .NET 4.2 or the Linux-based Qtopia platform version 1.7, Olympus' newest handheld can take a punch or two.
Making its first foray into the handheld market, Olympus has launched the R1000, a rugged handheld capable of running both Windows- and Linux-based operating system. Adhering to IP54 Category II specifications on dust and water splash resistance, the new ruggedized handheld is targeted towards the enterprise, offering a powerful set of specifications in a surprisingly slim form factor.
