Are these scanners only? or do they also have a way to access a database of results. I ask because I am sure that there are Bluetooth scanners that only send the data to the iDevice, but what do you do with the scan from there? My thought would be to go ahead and buy the Digit-Eyes app, which uses the camera of the iDevice. I think there are Bluetooth scanners that were tested with the app some time ago, but, remember, the Bluetooth scanner is one more piece of hardware to be transported. JMO.

Some time ago someone mentioned the Koam Tac laser scanners, which could work with bluetooth for use with the iPhone. Has anyone had much experience with these? I think the price was much less than the ID Mate. I've been seriously considering making the investment.

One thing to note is that Digit-Eyes works very well if you use it correctly, but a barcode scanner will always be quite a lot faster. So, if you don't want to take up to a minute or three to get an item identified, then go for the Quest. If you go with Digit-Eyes, remember to place the camera on or very close to the item, then slowly pull back so the auto-focus can kick in. You also have to get good at knowing about where the barcode is located on the item. A barcode scanner does not need to focus and can scan significantly faster. If you have the $1300 to spend on the Quest, spend $20 on Digit-EYES to see if it meets your needs f/) Just my opinion, Richard Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

Putting the price difference aside for a moment, what would you folks recommend for bar code scanning? An app like Digit-eyes, or a dedicated device like the ID Mate Quest? Chris P.S. It would be neat if KNFBReader could do this. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
