Yes, this appears to be much the same as the previous model Trimble Yuma rugged tablet computer, but with Windows 7 replaced by a Linux option and more flash RAM. The unit has a low performance processor (much like a netbook), so installing Linux should make a big improvement over Windows. These are commonly used for military and emergency applications and sell on Amazon for about $4,000: http://blog.tomw.net.au/2012/02/rugged-linux-military-tablet-computer.html
