Motorola to start beta testing rugged Android tablet, steps up enterprise efforts

We’ve been keeping our eyes on Motorola’s plans to sink its claws into the enterprise marketplace for a minimum of the past couple of months, and it looks as if the corporate is ramping up its efforts with a rugged Android tablet fit for the workplace. A presentation provided to us by a helpful tipster outlines Moto’s plans to be the “first physical embodiment defining Android for the Enterprise,” with a Gingerbread-equipped tablet entering beta testing this October. As you will discover from the slide above, the slate will sport both a 1.3MP front-facing camera and an 8MP rear-facing camera “with illumination and aiming” for barcode scanning. It’s also carrying a dual-core 1GHz OMAP 4 CPU, 1GB RAM, 8GB NAND, a 7-inch LCD display, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, and USB connectivity. It is going to also pack enough juice to offer five and a half hours of streaming video, and may be capable of withstand a four foot drop, extreme temperatures, excessive dust, and splashing water. From the look of factors, this tablet’s going to be more at home within the workshop than the boardroom, but we’ll just should be patient what becomes of it once the article makes it out of beta.
