In case you haven’t heard, Motorola recently announced their  answer to the workplace tablet battle taking place.  The Motorola ET1 Enterprise Tablet should start shipping sometime in December or January.   From our angle, the Motorola ET1 fills a gap otherwise left completely untouched until now.  Before the Motorola ET1, the emphasis was on ruggedness.  While ruggedness is critical where the environment demands it, those not requiring it had to cave in and pay for ruggedness or go with a far less durable and less expensive notebook or laptop.   The Motorola ET1 tablet provides a company’s workforce all of the benefits of a tablet, but without having to pay for all of the ruggedness and durability.

With ruggedness and durability in mind, the Motorola ET1 is not by any means a wimp.  With an IP54 rating, the ET1 can withstand reasonable moisture, humidity and other environmental challenges.   It’s also been tested with multiple 4ft drops as well as vibration tests to ensure physical reliability.  This combined with Motorola’s proven track record as an industry leader and a MSRP list price around $1,500, the ET1 will definitely be in demand.

The Motorola ET1 will support the Android OS, but using the SDK’s RhoElements, DataWedge & KepMap, applications can be developed for Android that support use of the barcode scanner or other input technology.  Other key features include 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, GPS, UPS ports, Front & rear facing camera, 7″ Display and full shift battery operation.

The Motorola ET1 will sure be a game changer and we’re looking forward to getting our hands on one.  If you are interested in learning more about the Motorola ET1, give Advanced Automation a call or email.
