Motorola VC6096 - A robust in car PC

motorola-vc6096.jpg The device has transportation services as the main target, and comes with a fixed mount so it stays steady on a vehicle. It has integrated 3.5G GSM HSDPA WWAN as well as 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi and when you speak of transportation and logistics, you must have some way of telling where your fleet is. Therefore, Motorola VC6096 also has a SiRF Star III GPS receiver. Oh yes, there is Bluetooth too. Since the VC6096 has both GPS and high speed cellular GSM/EDGE HSDPA data connectivity, it can communicate and interact with all sorts of vehicle monitoring systems. Further, the unit's digital and analog ports can interact with the vehicle's engine management computer (usually called Electronic Control Unit, or ECU), onboard machinery, or any type of sensor. This kind of bi-directional real-time data can be used for all sorts of fleet management systems. Depending on the application, the VC6096 can communicate where it is, how fast the vehicle is going, as well as report adherence to driving policies, emergencies, and vehicle systems performance.

Other hardware specs include fairly large display with a large backlit keyboard that actually provides an almost full-scale QWERTY layout. SD card slot, five programmable soft keys, mic, and speakers; all running on 128MB of RAM, 256MB flash, 624 MHz processor and Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro. No word yet on the price since this is not going to be a consumer device, do you think this device could have some consumer friendly uses.
