Casio has a new VGA Pocket PC

It may only be sold in Japan but Casio has surprised the industry with the first Pocket PC device they’ve introduced in several years. The new Windows Mobile powered DT-10 seems to be aimed at the industrial sector as Casio is claiming it is shock-proof (from a drop of 1 meter) and dust-proof. The DT-10 will come in two models, the DT-10 M50 and the DT-10 M50s, with Bluetooth only and WiFi plus Bluetooth respectively. Both models sport the same specifications:416 mHz PXA270, 128 MB RAM, 64 MB ROM (20 MB available to the user), VGA screen, SDIO and CF slots, 2300 mAh batteryThe DT-10 will be offered with Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition and availability of November is claimed. Casio has always designed devices that are almost utilitarian in looks and the DT-10 is no exception. Thanks to engadget for the heads up.
