"A standard Pocket PC will not survive for very long outside of its natural environment (i.e. your office or home). Unless you have a waterproof and shockproof case, you’ll soon find your PPC ‘bricked’ in a heartbeat if it’s dropped on the ground or in water."

Trusted Review, August 2005, http://www.trustedreview.com.
When most companies talk about making a product more rugged they usually mean stronger handles, thicker casing and scratch resistant paint, they do not mean drop it, put it underwater and throw it in the mud. By contrast, when TDS releases a product it MEANS drop it, leave it underwater and make it look like it spent the week in Glastonbury.
