Although I haven't seen one yet myself, I heard from a Symbol reseller we
deal with that they just got in their first SPT 1700 which is the
ruggedized SPT 1500. A much less expensive solution which we think will
satisfy a LOT of the need for a ruggedized unit (though certainly not
all) is the "Bond" (www.force.com) which lets you hand the unit around
your neck. Dorky as an everyday accessory (IMHO) but GREAT for certain
applications, in some ways even better than a ruggedized unit.
Disclaimer: no relation to force other than as a satisfied customer.
