I remember discussions after the iPad came about how it was useless on construction sites, wouldn't last a month etc. If this is durable enough it could sell nicely. Also, having synchronized 'digital' data might help avoiding some issues like outdated underground blueprints (college machine room suffered network and power shutdowns because of wrong digging location.. how crass)

ps: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6705169 says the specs aren't as impressive as panasonic toughbooks, someone needs to test this in real life. Slow mo guys maybe ? www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OH1CKIQdpw‎ :p
