The name is “Toughpad”, yes, not touchpad. They are as tough as the name suggests. Panasonic unveiled two new Android based tablets, the Toughpad A1 and Toughpad B1. The Toughpad series of tablets are focussed on rough users, workers on the move and would also target business and government users too. High quality support system will also be in place for the tablets with enterprise focussed app store, developer tools and many others.
The Toughpad A1 is a 10-inch tablet and the Toughpad B1 is a 7-inch tablet both ideal for outdoor workers like people working in the field of aviation, construction, hardware professionals, etc. where working conditions makes it difficult to use expensive tablets like iPad.
