Those who work in harsh environments and yet require the help of gadgets like a PDA will find the Meazura Rugged Digital Assistant the perfect answer to their prayers. Based on the famous Palm OS, the Meazura is built according to IP67 standards that makes it completely impervious to dust ingress and holds the honor of being the world's first waterproof Palm-powered device. Those who will find the Meazura useful in their line of work includes mobile professionals, couriers, engineers, manufacturers, maintenance contractors, paramedics, construction workers, and even farmers. The Meazura RDA boasts an ultra long battery life with its lithium-ion battery pack that enables it to run for days in a stretch before requiring a recharge. It also comes with a CF memory card slot in case the bundled 128MB CF card is insufficient for your everyday use. The Meazura has some pretty meagre specs though - it is powered by a 33MHz Motorola DragonBall-VZ processor and has only 16MB of SDRAM. The display is an ancient 160 x 160 pixels (4-bit grayscale) screen. This device measures 169.5mm x 94mm x 35mm and weighs 430g. For $399, you're paying for the protection and not the capabilities.
Pros : Long battery life, stable OS, waterproof
Cons : No color screen, bulky, expensive
