TabletKiosk TufTab V7112XT UMPC Announced Ultra-mobile PC specialist TabletKiosk has unveiled the TufTab, a UMPC hardened against the conditions often found in construction work or simply by everyday users who regularly travel with the handheld. The rubberized case is resistant to dust, rain, and vibration and includes a fingerprint reader for security-conscious owners.

It is tough, light in weight and has a rubberized case resistant to rain, dust, and vibration. For security the handheld is provided with a biometric fingerprint reader. TufTab comes in two color options: Black and White. Just three words give an apt description of TabletKiosk: performance, security and durability. The company will launch TufTab mid-April at an MSRP of $1,699 price with Windows XP. If you choose openSUSE Linux that is somewhat rare option for UMPCs, the price would drop by $75.
