What they don't tell you is that it's 800x600 at 256 colours for the MDWD.
Theres other ones out there like the Motorola MW520 which is another 800x600 256c display on a P2-class processor, and the new (and current) Motorola MW800 which has 800x600 or 1024x768 at 16 or 32bit colour, 8 wire resisitive pad and all that jazz. Of course, everything is proprietary, the connectors are proprietary (eg. there's one trunk cable that goes from the CPU to the monitor, which THEN breaks out into USB 1.1 for the keyboard). Most large-city public safety agencies would be using either a Toughbook or MW800. And the MW800 screen is incredible. I just can't re-mortgage the house to buy it.
In short, for what I'd assume most carpc enthusiasts can afford, none of the Motorola/Toughbook options are affordable nor can they be customized the way some would want. None of them are even Core2Duo, let alone CoreDuo... they're either Pentium-M or Pentium-4M.
