SwitchBack™ - Rugged UltraMobile PC
How It Works
The SwitchBack's patent-pending BackPack Technology allows the user to incorporate multiple devices into a single BackPack. The BackPack attaches onto the back of the SwitchBack™ UMPC and interfaces to the computer through a special ultra-wide, high-speed connection to the computer.
The SwitchBack's design is so flexible almost any electronic peripheral can be designed to interface with it. Today, customers can order the SwitchBack™ with the Standard BackPack, which includes VGA output, a Serial Port, type II PCMCIA, Audio In/Out and USB 2.0. In addition, customers can choose to utilize Roper Mobile's BackPack Development Kit which allows them to build their own custom BackPacks.
