At the Hobart City Council we use AutoCite. We have used this system for thirteen years, we upgraded to the new system three years ago.

City of Boroondara are currently using the old ruggedised Symbol units and the HP iPaq. We have recently upgraded some of our units to the new Symbol/Motorola MC35 with Windows Mobile 6. We are also looking at testing in the near future the Nomad and the all in one unit called the Pidion.
The Pidion is very similar to the Autocite, we have just recently had one on loan for Officers to get a bit of a feel of it and the reaction was very positive, in terms of the time for a ticket to print was very fast in comparison to the time it takes using Bluetooth connectivity from a PDA to an Intermec printer.
The only downside was the fact that the Pidion may not stand up to the rugged handling it would get out on the field, only time will tell.

Adelaide has now been using the Pidion for around three months and the system is proving to be quite good. Some Officers have problems adapting to it (a few out of 45 ain't bad), but most are happy with them, and some love them.
They are quicker than the old iPaqs, and being an all in one they are less hassle to use. They are also much lighter that the old AutoCite 'brick'.
They are proving to be quite solid in construction with only one minor break from numerous reported drops.
Ticket roll is smaller than the Auotcite pads(around 35 to the roll) and we had them specially made and printed in WA.
So far only a small bug with the camera that only affects a few units, but a fix is on the way. The camera is quite good, particularly with night shots when compared to the iPaq.
Back of house system is better than the iPaq with much more solid wifi hookup and downloading.Posted 1 year ago # -
Maribyrnong currently use Autocites for our parking enforcemment team. Our local laws Officers and AMO's currently use iPAQ running the Pinforce software.
We have recently purchased a combination of Schweers X-600 and some Ticketman (politess) units for use in the parking team. Schweers (Aust) are working closely with us to get the units to utilise a personal alarm portal It(one button touch) puts the officer in contact with a console operator who can pinpoint the Officers location and execute a series of escalating protocols to fit the circumstances.Will post some more on this when we are operational.
cheers
