There's a lot of wearable/durable tech made for warehouse workers. I wish I had the money to buy all the awesome things I find. They're still semi usable with new software. A lot run on the "mobile" windows architecture which takes Unix/Linux naively.

Current versions of this run Android.

They’re made by Zebra who bought the Symbol barcode reader company, who bought the Motorola mobile computer business. The hardware is basically the same though.

Yeah, but they are only marginally better. It's like moving from a hopelessly out of date platform to one that is only five years old. Is it better than what you had? Without a doubt. Does that make it good? Fuck no.

No, they’re a lot better. The touch screen is actually usable and Android is incredibly much better than WinCE 7. Is it better than a mobile phone? No. Is it much much more durable than a mobile phone? Yes.
