Small and sturdy GoBook

Ah, the dilemma of the klutzy smallist. The smaller your gadget, typically the more frail. I wait in excitement for the Apple iPhone, yet somewhere deep down, I know it will snap like a twig in my jeans pocket.

Not so with the GoBook MR-1, a ruggedized UMPC capable of government levels of klutziness (MIL-STD 810F and IP-54 ratings, the military upper limit of “why we can’t have nice things”). It also has some nifty features like a 16-32GB solid-state drive, fingerprint reader, and something called “stealth-mode keyboard.”

Alas, it costs $4,450. So you might be better off gluing a bicycle helmet to the bottom of your iBook.
