It's survey gear boys and girls. Unless you are doing land survey don't count on this little item being very useful as it's going to be custom tailored for working with Trimble's Survey Stations (total stations run around $21k and that's a hell of a cost for a required accessory) and likely isn't going to have uses other than such. So in other words if your daily job isn't land surveying this isn't much of an announcement.

PDA doesn't always mean what tech blogs think it does. And honestly what is with all the coverage of the transportation engineering/construction field without regard to any understanding of it. The least you could do is get a staff member that has the ability to look up what business Trimble (and realize they are in that business and are not branching out into PDA sales to the general populace) is in before you get some geeks hopes up.
