US向けの業務端末(国勢調査？)はHTC製

It looks like the latest smartphone-on-steroids, teeming with everything from GPS and wireless to a touchscreen and a stylus. Throw in an SD memory slot, fingerprint authentication and Windows Mobile 5.0, and you’ve got a powerful, easy-to-use PDA in your hands. Trouble is (besides being clunky at nearly twice the size of BlackBerry), once inefficient bureaucrats will be the only ones allowed to use it come 2010.

USでの国勢調査って10年に一度だっけ？（＾＾？　2020年の調査時には使われない使い捨ての端末になると思うんですが500,000（50万台）って太っ腹〜〜〜！！　（＠＠；
余計なお世話ですが、一台あたり安く見積もって5万円だとすると　50,000円ｘ500,000台=25,000,000,000円？！
