Probably because any company can now a days out an android device overnight.

Wondering the strategy of CatPill-a globle leader giant of Equip construction. Such a big alternating business!

Well, they do manufacture some rugged watches through other licensees. Not sure if this would become the next Panasonic P51!

There was a JCB branded Motorola Defy some time back. http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/17/motorola-defy-jcb-phone/ An over priced version of the defy.

@Gannu - Real tough!
Site says:
Its Alu body in roughened, rubberized casing with minimap opening. Scratch proof Corning Gorilla Glass screen. Drop it 1.8 mtrs head-first onto concrete and it bounces back - even the screen!

Its IP67 certified, offers dustproof and waterproof service. Seems CatPill gives to all those employees at construction site of customer!

No idea on price tag though.
