Fark the rest of the UMPCs, the Roper Mobile SwitchBack is the one to have.

[quote author="RoperMobile_PressRelease"]The latest version of the SwitchBack PC is the most powerful version yet. Operating on a Windows XP or Windows Vista platform, it utilizes a 1.0 GHz Intel® Celeron® M processor, 2GB of 400 MHz DDR2 and up to 120GB of optional storage. It has passed rigorous environmental testing and meets military specification MIL-STD-810F and IEC 60529 standard IP-67 for operating in conditions of extreme shock, vibration, temperature and immersion.

The standard SwitchBack PC comes with a one year standard warranty and is equipped with a condensed QWERTY keyboard, removable hard drive, hot swappable battery and a 5.6-inch WSVGA sunlight viewable touch screen with stylus. Wireless capabilities like Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi b/g are standard and GPS can be integrated. The newest SwitchBack also has a patent-pending Status & Control feature that enables remote diagnostics for automatic troubleshooting in the field. This first of its kind diagnostic tool intelligently manages and controls vital functions of the PC including:

â?¢ Primary & secondary battery levels
â?¢ Temperature fluctuation
â?¢ Accelerometer to measure drops
â?¢ Power consumption
â?¢ Input and output shortages

The BackPack Program
The SwitchBackâ??s patent-pending BackPack Technology allows the user to incorporate multiple devices into a single BackPack such as a digital camera, biometric security, an RFID reader or any combination of I/O options.

The BackPack (standard or custom) attaches onto the back of the SwitchBack and interfaces to the computer through a special ultra-wide, high-speed connection to the Switchback. This PCâ??s design is so flexible almost any electronic peripheral can be designed to interface with it.

Today, customers can order the Standard BackPack which includes:
â?¢ Type II PCMCIA
â?¢ USB 2.0 Port
â?¢ Serial Port
â?¢ VGA output
â?¢ Audio Line In
â?¢ Audio Line out

Roper Mobile also works closely with its customers to design customized BackPacks that are right for them. In addition, customers can choose to utilize Roper Mobileâ??s BackPack Development Kit which allows them to build their own BackPacks.

Pricing & Availability
The SwitchBack PC and the Standard BackPack are available immediately through Roper Mobile Technology. For pricing and information on custom BackPack Modules or a BackPack Development Kit, contact Roper Mobile at 480-705-4200 or at [email protected].[/quote]
