My work owns and uses 4 Symbol MC50 units for physical inventory of over 2000 computers. A design like this would make that job a bit easier. The Symbol series of handheld computers were designed for durability and usability it's NOT designed for looks.

This reminds me of Reboot. "GO GLITCH!"Seriously, years from now, someone will pull up this photo and say, "Look at how ugly and bulky these were back then!"

Web is right, all you guys are assuming this is for the everyday man, its not.Someone is digging everyone who mentions this fact.This new Symbol model is perfect for the warehouses, the Symbol "cannons/bricks" they have are far larger and bulkier. Our warehouse has lost 3 out of 10 of them alone in the last year due to drops and everyone knows Symbol makes some of the most durable models.These on the other hand are designed to sync with your database and help with tasks like inventory, shipping, etc.Our company would without a doubt invest in these, they should prove to be less problematic and would stay with the employee.
