Intermec CN3 Mobile Computer

This week I have written about several new "light industrial"
handheld computers including the Dolphin 7600 and Symbol's MC35. Today I want to highlight another new handheld device, this time from Intermec. It is called the CN3 and is pictured here.

The trend is readily apparent - the ruggedized handheld hardware manufacturers have recognized the need to develop specialized hardware for mobile field workers. Workers that need a light weight device with a combined mobile phone and a handheld PDA so they can communicate both voice and enterprise data from their handhelds while working at remote locations and jobsites.

These categories of handheld computers align nicely with MobileDataforce's focus on the mobile worker that works outside-the-four-walls and needs access to enterprise database applications.
