Hmm, sounds like he's going to need a ruggedized version then. You aren't getting that for $300. Best he could do is find the best PDA he can for $200 on ebay, then spend $100 for a ruggedized casing. Otherwise, the thing wouldn't last 2 weeks.thrawn said:i agree, he's willing to spend the money though. he has a couple of research libraries that he wants to have available when not around a pc. he's an electrician, he wanted something to keep records when at a job site also.

Seriously, he'd be better off buying a used laptop then.thrawn said:it would be for when he's quoting jobs, not while actually working.

If he won't listen, the you could at least try to get him to bite on a PDA/phone hybrid. More than $300, but at least its more useful than a $300 electronic PDF reader.thrawn said:thats what i told him. i suppose i'll just try harder to convince him. thank you
