I had early some issues with the Grabba T-series under Palm OS, but they have
been very good to work with and now it works very well.

Well, I was excited when they pre-announced the SDIO scanner too, but that
didn't work out for me either once they shipped it.  But I haven't tried another
since then, so thought perhaps I was behind the times and they had a viable one
now.

Thanks for confirming that much for me.

Camera isn't a concern in my environment, but of course you need a different
model depending on the style unit you attach too (ie UC vs Athena connector vs
Treo 600 etc).  If someone made a nice SDIO based scanner, that would be have
its advantages...
