| Tod Creech | Does anyone have an experience-based recommendation for a tablet pc for use by superintendents on the jobsite? The primary functions would be Outlook email and calander, viewing and editing Microsoft Office documents, and taking pictures. |

| Tod Creech | On the F5v, did you get the optional Viewanywhere display, or is the standard display suitable for outdoor viewing? Are they any other options that you would advise us to consider? |

| Brendon Ressler | We've deployed about half a dozen Motion F5v ruggedized tablets in the field and they work very well. If you're looking for a less pricy alternative and you're not going to have to manipulate Excel spreadsheets and the like too often then the iPad2 in an OtterBox case works well also. We have about a dozen of those in use. |
