Trimble Juno 3D with Terrasync Standard

Product Details Trimble has a long history of offering Pocket PCs and PDAs with built-in GPS, but in early models GPS was often poorly integrated. That changed with the Trimble Juno SA/ SB/ SC/ SD models that were built from the ground up to be GIS data collection systems, and remain available for now ( February 2012) . These latest two devices— one with and one without 3.75G wireless— represent a complete re-design of the series, one with the goal of making the devices tougher and faster in addition to the inclusion of the usual tech updates between models. While Trimble doesn' t specify the specific processor of the new models, it does list the clock speed, and that is up to 800MHz ( from 533MHz in the predecessor models) . RAM and ROM got big boosts as well, with RAM doubling to 256MB and Flash going from just 128MB all the way to 2GB. The operating system is no longer Windows Mobile 6.1 but the somewhat more modern Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5. The microSDHC card slot is still there, but the old 3-megapixel camera with auto focus has given way to a 5-mp model. What hasn' t changed is the size and resolution of the 3.5-inch QVGA 240 x 320 pixel sunlight-readable touch screen. With GPS and GIS applications, more resolution is always better, but Trimble probably had its reasons for staying with the lower res. Also unchanged are the Bluetooth, 2.0 and 802.11b/ g wireless LAN radios, but mobile broadband is now up to HSPA+ 3.75G cellular. GPS specs look the same: a 12 channel high-sensitivity GPS/ SBAS receiver and antenna that support the NMEA and SiRF protocols and can deliver code post-processed accuracy between three and ten feet.
