Trimble Tackles Form Factor for Mobile Apps #esriuc

The Trimble device pictured at right (click for larger image) might be described as your "professional" cell phone. Both in disconnected and real-time mode, the Trimble "Yuma" tablet computer runs a full version of ArcGIS, can be used as a portable navigation device, and can call home when necessary. Actually, using a cell network, field data can be directly uploaded in real time, if necessary. It also sports two cameras, both front and back for additional field verification photography. I found the demo very slick, but what’s your opinion? Does this form factor work? Not quite a full size tablet computer, certainly larger then your smartphone, and for those who now need glasses to squint at tiny cell phone screens, the high resolution viewing panel is easy on the eyes.
