Customizable Android tablet is MIL-SPEC rugged

From:  http://linuxgizmos.com




InHand Electronics announced the Hydra-F6, a customizable, MIL-SPEC ruggedized, 7-inch, WSVGA tablet that runs Android 4.2 on a Freescale i.MX6 SoC.

 

InHand’s Hydra-F6 tablet is built around its Fury-F6 embedded board for the dual- and quad-core models and its similar Siren-F6 for the single-core version of the Cortex-A9-based Freescale i.MX6. Announced in August, the 2.5 x 2.5-inch Fury-F6 falls into that netherworld between computer-on-modules and single board computers.

It lacks real-world ports, instead relying on a separate expansion card.

With that addition, it’s also available in an enclosed mini-PC development platform configuration.
