It's weird a bulldozer company is developing a smart phone, but pretty cool idea and partnering with FLIR will give them the technology they need.

Once strictly an extremely expensive tool used only by law enforcement and the military, thermal cameras are now accessible to anyone with a smartphone and a $250 accessory. But starting with Caterpillar’s new rugged S60, thermal imaging sensors are starting to be built right into smartphones.

That is a pretty cool feature. I wonder how good it is.

After doing a little research the phones are being made by a company that licenses the caterpillar brand. And i don't think it's that weird. If the phones do well, the next thing will be the caterpillar laptop that's their version of the toughbook, and before you know it everything on a construction site will be made by caterpillar and they'll be rolling in the profits
