Handhelds unique MaxView(TM) screen technology is the latest in outdoor view ability ensuring the user the best outdoor screen visibility available on the market. The hot-swappable 2400 mAh dual battery pack lets you change batteries without shutting down thus giving you the run time needed from your tablet.

“Our partners have come to expect cutting-edge technology from Handheld”, said Jerker Hellstrom, CEO and chairman of the Handheld Group. “With the development of the Algiz 7 our target was set high and we are very pleased to conclude that not only have we achieved this target but actually surpassed it.
