About this website

Like I said, a few months back, I got so fed up with breaking my mobile phone that I thought I’d look for an alternative. I met this chap at Avnet who introduced me to the MC70. This is what Motorola call a ‘rugged device’ designed to withstand all day, everyday use in nearly any environment.  It was bigger than my old mobile but was still pretty compact and functional but how ‘rugged’ is it really?

Basically Avnet distribute these rugged computers worldwide and kindly agreed to let me have one to put it through its paces. (And give it a hammering!)

The whole point of this website is to push these rugged mobile computers to the limits and see just what kind of abuse they can handle. I will be releasing a new video each week, follow me on Twitter to make sure you don’t miss any of them. I’ve got some pretty outrageous ideas but I’d be really keen to hear yours. Send me a test suggestion, can’t guarantee to do them all but hey, I will have fun trying.

All the best
Bjorn
