our environment, while in a factory, is not harsh. It is temp controlled (within reason) and really not all that dusty. These tablets would NOT work in a harsh environment. I do know that if the wirless connection is not active, the battery life does much better.

In the end, the VFP app running on the windows platform does great. So if you can find the right tablet and it runs win2K or XP, you definently won't have any trouble running a VFP app.
