    The Nautiz X8 is built to enable efficient and reliable data collection in the
toughest of environments. It has an IP67 ingress protection rating
[http://www.handheldgroup.com/en/why-rugged-handheld-computers/what-is-rugged ], which
means it offers complete protection against dust and sand and can withstand immersion in
water. It also meets stringent MIL-STD-810G military test standards
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIL-STD-810 ] for overall durability and resistance to
humidity, shock, vibration, drops, salt and extreme temperatures.

    This new dynamic handheld computer features a high-performance Texas Instruments 4470
dual-core 1.5 GHz processor. It has 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of iNAND Flash and a 5200 mAh Li-ion
battery that lasts up to 12 hours on a single charge. And it comes with a choice of
operating systems - Android 4.2.2 or Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3.

    The Nautiz X8 has a large 4.7-inch ultra-bright capacitive multi-touch screen with
chemically strengthened Asahi Dragontrail [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragontrail ]
glass, offering users unparalleled brightness and protection in any field condition. The
unit has an ergonomic design and weighs 490 grams (17.3 ounces).

    The Nautiz X8 has a dedicated u-blox GPS receiver, Bluetooth 2.0 and 802.11b/g/n WLAN
functionality, as well as connectivity through GSM/UMTS or CDMA phone data transmission. A
built-in 8-megapixel camera with autofocus and an LED flash lets users capture visual data
quickly and easily. This handheld also features an open architecture and an extension cap
system that allows for additional hardware connections such as sensors, radios and other
add-ons.

    "The new Nautiz X8 is the world's best rugged handheld computer, with exceptional
durability, connectivity, processing power and battery life - without compromising
ergonomics or design," says Jerker Hellström, CEO of Handheld Group. "Its capacitive
touchscreen is in a class of its own: incredibly bright and very large for a PDA and, of
course, chemically strengthened to withstand rough handling in the field. Field workers
all over the world will love this new PDA and treat it with the tough love it deserves."

    Orders for the new Nautiz X8 can be placed immediately. First deliveries will begin in
November.
