Hi Doug! The Socket SDIO scanner is definitely less responsive than a laser scanner such as the Socket CHS or Aceeca BCS2 laser scanner. I'd say the Socket SDIO scanner performance is on par with the CCD scanner in the Symbol MC50 (and in fact it may even be the exact same scanning engine). I really do like the Socket Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS) that communicates to the PDA via Bluetooth. Socket has put some thought into the two hand vs. one hand problem too, as the CHS comes with a retractable lanyard so you can just hang it off your neck when not scanning, and one end of it is a stylus tip so you do not need to use a separate stylus on the PDA. Rechargeable battery life on the CHS is awesome too. -- David Thacker http://www.SatelliteForms.net The Premier RAD Tool for PalmOS & PocketPC -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
