Barco, makers of high-end medical displays, just launched the CliniScape and ProScribe tablets. The screens are 10.4-inches and 12-inches respectively and are ruggedized and drop resistant. They are also, presumably, blood-proof. The devices run an Intel Core Solo and Windows XP.

The devices also come with a cool-looking aluminum dock and, most important, they are “easy to wipe clean to reduce spread of infection.”

Don’t expect to pick one of these up at the local Best Buy. They’re probably crazy expensive.
