This GDS-300 2-channel handheld scope looks nice, but it lacks some advanced functions like pattern trigger or serial decoding.

Maybe I would rather choose Fluke 190-504/S or Tektronix THS3000. They look more rugged for use in an industrial environment.
I like that promotional video. It is very funny.

Well, remember that GW Instek has rather very little experience with handheld oscilloscopes. Until recently they only produced that weird GDS-122 that looks like a rebadged Owon.

Looks cool, but then how cool it is totally depends on the price, which I can't find anywhere.

Still waiting for a scope meter thats as compact as the hps140i. The hps140i is full of bugs in the software other wise handy scope for testing low frequency electronics. The small foot print of the analog discovery means you could make this into a portable scope it also has a android sdk. The analogue discovery has a good spec for low frequency analogue electronics...testing building sensors etc. Also off the shelf technology like the DEO nano combined with a LCD could made into a hand held scope with all the software functions like peak, pulse width min max average, duty cycle, single shot etc. Has any thought of making their own handheld scope using the examples such as above?

I wonder how much that ad cost....
you'd have thought with that budget they'd have made it a bit more plausible instead of showing a bizarre signal on the ground pin of an RS232 port.....
And they forgot to show the guy waiting at baggage reclaim!
..and WTF no Bluetooth/Wifi?

I wonder how well the touchscreen works if it's connected to a noisy ground

The problem with this spec of HW is its considerable limitations for any serious use.
No CAT rating, limited max input, low sampling rate, single ch etc.
Manufacturers today produce very useful HH's with as much functionality and specs as a bench top unit and for a much larger overall target market.

Well, yes, I find this GW Instek video funny.
