Jan. 19, 2006 -- (MobileVillage) -- Xplore Technologies today announced its latest rugged mobile computer -- the iX104C2DV -- that features both active stylus and finger touch input, as well as the optically enhanced AllVue display.

More than a year ago, Xplore began offering the AllVue LCD technology, which increases screen readability in all lighting conditions, including indoor, direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting. Enterprise customers such as Clare Rose, BNSF and Hydro One have deployed Xplore's AllVue technology as a key element of their mobile automation projects.

The newest C2 model integrates a patent pending auto-sensing technology, which allows users to automatically switch between pen input and finger-based touch input. This allows users to enter data with their finger in case the active digital pen is lost or damaged.

Xplore's Dual Mode AllVue Tablet PC features the Intel Pentium M processor 733 (Ultra Low Voltage), and Centrino mobile technology, which includes a 1.1Ghz processor, a 400MHz system bus, 2MB of L2 cache, and Intel Pro Wireless 802.11a/b/g wireless networking. iX104C2 systems can also be enabled with optional Bluetooth, wireless WAN, LAN and external GPS for additional multi-modal wireless communications capabilities.

Xplore's entire Rugged Tablet PC line is designed, warranted, and third party tested to US Military environmental standards (MIL-STD 810F). Xplore says its Tablet PCs can operate under severe conditions such as extreme hot and cold temperatures, exposure to dust, moisture, intense vibrations, and four foot drops to concrete.

Xplore's C2 family tablets have a three year warranty, have been UL1604 and ATEX certified for use in hazardous locations, have WiFi and CCX (Cisco Compatible Extensions) certifications, as well as Microsoft's Hardware Certification Approvals (WHCL).

Xplore's Tablet PCs with AllVue have recently received Editor's Choice Awards from both Pen Computing and TabletPc2.
