If one of your gripes with current Android tablets is how they wouldn’t be able to stand up to your active lifestyle well, Fujitsu may have something in the works for you. It’s called the Arrows Tab (F-01D) and this bad boy could be the world’s first dust/water proof rugged Honeycomb tablet when released next month on NTT DoCoMo.
Spec wise, we’re looking at a 10.1-inch, 1280×800 resolution display, 1Ghz Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, micro SD slot, 5MP rear/1.3MP front facing cameras, micro usb port, Android 3.1 and support for DoCoMo’s LTE network. Pricing has yet to be revealed. Honestly, this guy isn’t looking too bad from what I was expecting from a tablet resistant to the elements. But what do you guys think? Is there a market for more ruggedized Android tablets (providing they still keep a shapely figure)?

They’re going to price it at $400… fail, I hate stupid overpriced tablets #HPTouchpad4theWIN
HP touchpad is terrible…and yes I own one and giving it away
giving it away? alright, I’ll take one
Yea give me one too then so i can sell it because those things are selling like hot cakes.
1ghz processor? Welcome to last year!
Wait- what? It’s not about the hz it’s about the architecture. The OMAP 4430 is based on the Cortex A9 which could easily outperform say a 1.2Ghz dual-core Snapdragon which is based off the older A8.

@Brian if your giving it away send it my way!!!
How is $400 over priced? You guys are unbeleivable sometimes.
Will you buy one of these for $400? Or for a $100 more would u rather pick up a Galaxy Tab?
I’d take this. I’ve owned a Gtab and actually ditched it for the Xoom because of it’s frailty.
Good idea, no way this is $400 though. Fujitsu is expensive stuff. But I’m sure this appeals to the white collar workers who would use this in the field.
Buy a good tab from kmart get two year accidental plan for $35.00 and a Otterbox case. Rugged Warrior
