I was thinking about this in Craig's line of thought as well - would it be plausible to just use your phone, a little code and develop your own scanning software? I can't speak much on Android development, but there are established libraries in iOS7 you could program/plugin/develop to read

It just so happens that CDW's deal of the week is the Motorola LI2208 Barcode Scanner on sale until 7/3 @ 3pm CT for $104.99. I've had no experience with it, but the specs look great. It also supports scanning from a tablet or phone display as well as from printed barcodes.

John, The biggest problem I can see with this, aside from the never-ending Android/iOS debate, is what to do with the data once it's scanned, as each library may have different needs and/or uses for this data; importing to a database, dump it in a text file, import it into another app, etc.
