Panasonic's Toughbook Wireless Display thin-client

Next time we're at the hospital to have our pec implants checked out (we're all saline, no silicone), we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for Panasonic's new Toughbook Wireless Display thin-client, which offers all the fun of a TabletPC without the bulky hard drive or optical drive. Designed primarily for use in the health care field, the TWD rocks both WiFi and Bluetooth for communications and application usage (with Windows or Citrix), packed into a durable 2.6-pound case with a 10.4-inch LCD. Built to military specifications, this device should be able to stand up to some of a hospital's most dangerous environments, including the childrens' ward, the cranky seniors' ward, and even the occassional drop into a full bedpan.
