With Windows 7, the Yuma offers faster sleep and resume capabilities, improved data privacy and security, and enhanced networking capabilities."


I am writing to let you know how satisfied we are with our Trimble Yumas. We bought 4 with 3 of them currently in the field collecting data on electric utility assets for a fiber optic project. We are using the Yumas with a custom ESRI ArcPad application that I developed. I set up ArcPad so that the users in the field can attach voice tags and up to two photographs per feature. I was able to create a work around so that the user can start the Yuma's internal camera from within ArcPad. This has been an issue since the Yuma was released.
