iWave Systems of Bangalore has announced a Linux- and Windows CE 6.0-compatible industrial PDA targeting asset, inventory, and retail management. Available with RFID, WiFi, and GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, the iW-Rainbow-G4 can withstand six-foot drops, and includes a 3.5-inch touchscreen and a sealed keyboard, says iWave.

The G4’s case measures a relatively large 8 x 3.8 x 1.4 inches. It also has stylized “wings” that may help account for the device’s claimed ability to withstand six-foot drops. The G4 meets IP65 standards, and is dust- and water-resistant, according to iWave.
