The Nautiz X5 weighs only 14.5 ounces, is IP65 rated and can also handle extreme temperatures and multiple drops from 6 feet. "The features of the Nautiz X5 are not unusual - what is unusual is to have such advanced features in a rugged and value-priced package. The fast processor and the camera in particular really offer our customers a combination they can't find anywhere else." said Dale Kyle, president of Handheld US.

The Nautiz X5 comes standard with 256 MB RAM and 512 MB built-in Flash storage. The long-life 4400 mAh Li-ion battery provides more than all day performance, is rechargeable and hot-swappable.

The Nautiz X5 rugged PDA is built on the Windows Mobile 6.1 platform with a powerful X-scale 806 MHz processor making it one of the fastest rugged PDAs on the market. With cellular capabilities of either GSM (HSDPA/EDGE) or CDMA (EVDO) users can choose the network that works best for them. The unit also has fully integrated Bluetooth and 802.11b/g WLAN.

The integrated three mega-pixel camera comes with autofocus capabilities - a combination not usually seen in this type of device. And the integrated SiRF star III GPS chip with InstantFix II provides near instantaneous position computation for navigation or gathering location-based information.
