Asus has launched a new Android tablet to its range with the launch of the Asus Tough. Asus Tough is water, dust proof and a shock proof Tablet. Asus Tough is powered by a dual core 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and it runs on Google Android Honeycomb 3.2 OS.
Asus Tough sports a 7 inch multi-touch touchscreen display with a screen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and it features 16GB of built in storage, Expandable microSD card slot, 5 megapixel camera at rear, GOS, Bluetooth, WiFi and it is powered by a 7,400 mAh battery.
There’s also WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth, EVDO Rev.A and GPS, along with mini USB, microSD and a 5-megapixel main camera. Unfortunately, all that ruggedness – including IPX4 waterproofing, IP5X grade dust resistance and the ability to survive 76cm drops onto concrete – comes at a price, which is bulk: the ASUS TOUGH is clad in rubber and the like, adding up to 215 x 132 x 20-22.2 mm and 620g on the scales.
Battery life from the 7,400mAh pack is unconfirmed, though we’re guessing KDDI and ASUS’ target audience – enterprise users wanting to outfit their on-site workers with ruggedized slates capable of standing up to some careless treatment – will demand all-day runtime. No word on pricing at this stage, but the ASUS TOUGH ETBW11AA will go on sale in Japan come November.
