Motion Computing was a developer of slate Tablet PC computers located in Austin, Texas. Motion Computing focused on vertical markets such as healthcare[1] government,[2] public safety,[3][4] and construction.[5][6] It was the first company to introduce Gorilla Glass, Bonded displays, built-in array microphones, and UV light-based disinfection stations for clinical environments.[7]

On January 5, 2011, Motion Computing announced the Intel Atom "Oak Trail"-powered CL900 running Windows 7, a fully rugged 10" screen ultra-light Tablet PC, weighing 2.1 pounds and costing around $1,000.[8]

In 2011, Motion Computing's tablet computer models were the C5v, F5v, J3500, and CL900.[9] The C5v is targeted for use in the healthcare industry,[10] while the rugged and fully sealed F5v and J3500 (wide screen) are targeted for field service, construction, inspector/appraiser or any market where mobile users spend time computing while walking or standing. Separate keyboards that can be connected over USB, Bluetooth or a proprietary dock connector are available for all models. Other options available include a bar-code reader, an RFID reader, a digital camera, and a clinical cart ("Motion Clinical Workstation"). All models offer an optional integrated wireless network using Gobi 2000 technology, allowing for Internet access on either HSPA or CDMA2000 EV-DO networks.[11]
