Can I use a Palm Pilot, iPAQ or other PDA to scan bar codes?
Yes. If you already have a Palm Pilot, look at the Portable Technologies site. The company makes a barcode reader interface for the Palm. Also, Grabba International Pty Ltd makes scanners that connect Palm, iPAQ and other PDAs. They also offer RFID, mag stripe and other auto ID devices for PDAs. Another alternative is to buy a PPT8000 Palm Computer. These versions, made/modified by Symbol Technologies, come with a built-in laser bar code scanner. Also, a nice retail application and inventory application is available from Stevens Creek Software. Peninsula also sells the SPT1500 and SPT 1700.
