Harris new rugged tablet brings Honeycomb to your local combat-zone

[![][1] ][2]

Harris makes the tough tech you'd expect to see [census takers][3] (leave it), [NFL stadiums][4] and [public buses][5] toting around. It's introducing a new 7-inch Android tablet that's so hard-as-nails it would make a [Galaxy Tab][6] go home and call its mother. The Harris RF-3590 packs a 1024 x 600 multitouch display, a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU, 2GB of LPDDR2 RAM, 2 and 8-megapixel front and rear-facing cameras and comes running Honeycomb. There's plenty of connection options with the usual WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth supplanted by a cellular connection, Ethernet, HDMI, SD and USB holes. It'll come with a 64GB SSD as standard but you can upgrade it to 128GB if you've got the _moolah_. Designed for soldiers in the battlefield, when stealth isn't necessary you can even activate voice control and bark your orders into the pair of microphones included. There's no word on pricing or availability, presumably because if you want to pick one of these up, you probably need to be called "General," and not just because you're good at _Starcraft._

[Thanks, Mike]
