The Getac Z710 is a rugged tablet computer. It was introduced by Getac on September 4, 2012, when it was announced as the world's first rugged 7-inch Android tablet,[1] and later as the world’s first rugged Android tablet to offer the option for the ATEX Zone II/22 certification for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, which is essential for many oil and gas uses as well as pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.
The tablet has a 7" Gorilla Glass touchscreen,[2] a soft plastic outer shell, 7-inch LCD screen[3] and weighs under 2 pounds.[4] It is fully waterproof, and can operate in subzero temperatures. It also has an optional bar-code scanner and radio-frequency identification reader.[3] Intended for use in utility industry markets,[1] it is designed to allow for operation with gloved hands.[5]
The product was originally released with Android 2.3 installed and was updated to Android 4.1 on April 16, 2013.[4]
