Panasonic enters tablet arena, announces Toughbook tablet

Panasonic today announced that it will be launching an enterprise grade Android tablet in the fourth quarter of this year. Part of the Toughbook line-up, it will be dubbed as Toughbook tablet; and will be mainly targeted to business users and will offer extra security, and reliability.

“Enterprise customers are very interested in the tablet market, but have been frustrated by the lack of appropriate solutions,” said Rance Poehler, president, Panasonic Solutions Company. “The vast majority of tablet devices—regardless of the OS—are engineered for consumers and don’t offer appropriate levels of security and durability or the functionality needed for business use.”

Company hasn’t given any more detail as of now.

Known Toughbook Specs:
