According to reports coming from various sources, including CNET Asia, the unit features a 5.6-inch touch-screen display and a thin strip of QWERTY thumb keys below it.

However reports are also saying that the mini rugged tablet might be more rugged than ergonomic.

As to what the price will be is another unknown, however with potential rivals the Asus Eee PC and similar platforms all hovering aroud the $400 mark, it is assumed the so-called ?Toughbook tablet" will probably be around the same mark.

At the time of publishing, conformation was still being sought from Panasonic.
