Trimble has unveiled the Yuma UMPC which should become an incredible computing solution for outdoors. This “handheld computer” from Trimble should continue the company’s legacy with such devices. The Trimble Yuma is based on Windows Vista Business OS, it features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth GPS, a 1.6GHz Atom processor, a 32GB SSD, Express Card SDIO slots, and a 7-inch WVGA touchscreen among others.

The Yuma UMPC will be perfect for host-mapping and form-based applications thanks to its touchscreen, but hopefully you will not damage it while you go camping. This all-in one computing tool withstands heavy climate conditions like rain (really?), vibration, humidity, and temperatures between -30 to 60 °C. Pretty impressive, huh?

“Connectivity in the field is vital for mobile workers. Today, they demand integrated solutions that are reliable and easy-to-use, so they can be more efficient and avoid the need to transcribe information once they return to the office. With the Yuma tablet, Trimble delivers just that. Now, workers can carry their office wherever they work. Its dynamic mix of ergonomic design, ruggedness and computing speed comes at a cost of ownership that?s very attractive in the tablet computer market today,” said Shawn Curtis, marketing manager for Trimble.

The Yuma measures 5.5 x 9 x 2 inches and it weighs 2.6 pounds. Trimble’s latest UMPC will be available as of April 2009, but for the moment there are no words about pricing.
