Forget Skynet, the U.S. Army seems more than content to make Android its platform of the future. Word comes from Engadget that General Dynamics has unleashed what could easily be mistaken for the Fallout series' "Pip-Boy" device. The GD300 is designed to keep soldiers on the ground in the know with a beefy GPS antenna and the ability to connect to the tactical radio system in use by the military. It is also designed to be damage-resistant, "glove-friendly" and "sunlight readable", which probably means it wont be packing an AMOLED screen. In addition, it comes with a 600 MHz ARM processor, 8 GB of onboard flash memory, and a 800 x 480 3.5-inch screen. Basically, this thing is the Android equivalent of the ToughBook. Full press release and some pictures after the break. [GD300 PDF via Engadget]
