This is like Deja Vu... Prior to the OmniGo I had a PSION 3a. And
the PSION newsgroup had a *long* discussion on dropping the things.
They were pretty rugged. On landing, the battery compartment would
always spring open (batteries flying across the room etc al). This
seemed to release a lot of the kinetic energy from the drop, 'cos
actual damage would be minimal. People even dropped them (by accident
I presume) into various types of liquid (well, the local PSION crowd
does always meet at a pub) without too much damage.
Prior experience with HP (33E, 41C, 11C) shows them to be pretty much
indestructable, but the OMniGo doesn't seem to be too rugged. Time
will tell...
