Panasonic Brings Toughpad FZ-A1 to Market for $1500

[dgstorm]

This new tablet from Panasonic is truly a niche product. While the premise of the device is appealing, the price leaves it firmly in a market crevice that is only affordable when you absolutely need it. Still, for those who fit that category, the new Panasonic Toughpad FZ-A1 may be necessary. This new military-grade spec device will retail for $1,500 dollars, and comes packed with the ruggedness you would expect at that price-point. Here's a slew of specs to illustrate:

• MIL-STD 810G and IP65 compliant (designed to protect it from 4ft drops and temperatures ranging from 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit)
• 10 inch display providing a resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels
• Fitted with dual cameras offering both 5 and 2 megapixels
• 1.2 GHz dual-core processor
• 1GB of RAM
• Satellite-based GPS and optional 3G connectivity
• A micro HDMI port
• Bluetooth 2.1
• Wi-Fi a/b/g/n
• Security features like Marvel Trusted Boot and hardware assisted storage encryption
• Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)
