Panasonic’s Medical Tablet Sees Light of Day

Panasonic recently gave a sneak peak to some folks in Tokyo of the company’s upcoming Toughbook medical tablet that seems to feature Intel‘s new Atom processor, which typically requires no ventilation, hence allows high performance devices to be waterproof. Considering all the banging against patient beds and hallway doors that a portable computer like this would be subject to, such a device might become a popular item for clinicians and nurses to view medical records and input data on the fly.
