You might be tempted to drag that shiny new iPad2 into the field for your next field mapping project, however, keep in mind, that iPad won’t do well in hot, wet, dusty environments – and don’t even think about dropping it! A device you should consider for your mobile data collection though is the new, rugged Mesa Notepad from Juniper Systems. Sporting the largest screen of any Windows Mobile rugged device, the Mesa is waterproof, dustproof, temp resistant, meets military specs, and sports WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, camera, 3G modem and more. Enjoy this hands on video we shot at the 2011 Esri UC in San Diego.
