Tougher Than An iPad
Panasonic unveiled their ToughPad this week--the FZ-A1.
This is a hardened device ready for outdoor use. Rated for MIL-STD-810G, the device is 4' shock-resistant, rated for extreme temperatures, and is resistant to water and dust with IP65 sealed design.
Currently comes in 10" size, but the FZ-B1 device is slated for a smaller 7" screen in Q2 2012.
The toughPad packs a lot of punch: This is an Android 3.2 device with 1.2 GHz dual core,1 GB RAM, 16 GB storage, 2 cameras (back 5 megapixel and front 2 megapixel), anti-glare multitouch screen 768 x 1024 megapixels, a 10 hour repalceable battery, USB, GPS, WIFI 802.11, Bluetooth, and optional 3G mobile broadband.
Optional accessories for vehicle mounting and hands-free holsters.
Priced at around $1299.
Great option for the warfighter, law enforcement, and homeland security professional as well as others working in challenging environments.

First Stop Saying First
Then came "Sharing First" and "Future First" in the "vision for information technology" (25 October 2011).
According to Federal Times (31 October 2011), there are many more 'firsts' to come-- with a "set of principles like 'XML First,' 'Web Services First' 'Virtualize First,' and other 'firsts' that will inform how we develop our government's systems. "
At this point in this blog, I can't even remember all the 'firsts' I just jotted down, so my question is at what point does assigning 'firsts' become 'second' to managing our tremendous IT asset base for the government?
Some more firsts just to be first in starting this "list of firsts":
