ABSTRACT:
A PDA apparatus that is ruggedized by providing a peripheral bumper and a raised bezel, both of which can be made of rubber or some other elastic material for absorbing shock when the PDA is in use in the field. The PDA can also have an antenna which is also part of the peripheral bumper or that is inset to minimize damage to the antenna. The antenna receives signals from a remote location such as a global positioning so that the PDA can display useful information to the user. In a golf context, this could be the distance from the user to a golf hole. The casing of the PDA can also be made of ballistic nylon so that handles for carrying the PDA can be easily sewn onto the housing and so that the housing can further resist any shock from the environment. If the case of the PDA is hard, there can be sockets provided where the handle can be easily attached or detached using a pair of nuts. A lanyard may be provided in lieu of handle to allow the user to easily transport the PDA. Furthermore, the PDA may have a retractable stand that allows the user to set the PDA on the ground and still be able to see the monitor while the user engages in another activity, thereby facilitating the access to the information by the user.
