David,
Long time no "talk".

Maybe the SD card unit has improved since first introduced (which is when I
tried it). How is the scanning success ratio for you?
I remember scan decode times being long even when it worked, and the it being
very intolerant of anything but very high quality labels.
What is your experience with the usability of the SDIO scanner?
The SDIO scanner works but in limited way. It is very picky on types and sizes of barcodes, and on light conditions, and it reads slowly. Also the scanner sticks out of the SD port and is VERY easy to knock-off.
The CHS scanner is a lot better and it works well as a BT scanner. But strangely enough Socket made some change when they went to a more rugged design that seems to have BT issues.
So I think you should try out the CHS scanner.
