<\/p>\nPanasonic launches the world’s lightest rugged tablet, Toughpad FZ-N1. Not sure why it is called a tablet rather than a mobile though (as it has just a 4.7-inch screen with mobile (4G) capability). It comes integrated with an\u00a0angled rear barcode reader. The Panasonic Toughpad FZ-N1 Android 5.1.1 handheld tablet comes with a standard 3-year warranty, and will be available from November 2016, priced at USD$1,665.<\/p>\n
