Trimble offers Juno ST GPS PDA to the mobile workforce
posted Apr 26th 2007 2:12PM
Businesses and organizations looking to deploy location-aware handhelds to large numbers of personnel will be delighted to hear about Trimble's new Juno ST GPS / GIS PDA, which promises to be a low-cost solution that's equally at home behind a desk or in the field. Featuring a 300MHz processor running Windows Mobile 5, 'high-sensitivity' GPS receiver, WiFi, Bluetooth, and an SD slot, the 2.8-inch Juno ST claims to be especially skilled at locating a signal in so-called 'hostile environments,' and predictably works with the company's entire line of mapping and GIS software. The heralded low price has not been announced (it likely varies by volume), but you have until May to convince the boss that your team's Handspring Visors and fanny packs full of Springboard modules are getting a bit outdated.

I see the owner is Seaview, reminds me of that submarine from "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea". They could have used a GPS - they were in 'hostile environments' every week, running into mummies, werewolves, talking puppets, evil leprechauns, fossil men, flame men, frost men and lobster men.

That thing looks like the cheapest PDA I've ever seen, like a baby made it, then peed on it to give it the bright yellow color.
How could you possibly get caught using something so hideously ugly?
But Can It Play Doom?
That really reminded me of the Zune for some reason.
"How could you possibly get caught using something so hideously ugly?"
Well, because you're not a girl or a 15-year old and you want a PDA with GPs.
Put a cell radio into it and you've got a winner.
Come-on, you guys ain't doin your homework, the price IS out: https://store.trimble.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=11260
Screw Doom--will it run the Zagat database software, and use it to find me the closest good Thai, Italian, etc.?
