Symbol even makes some Palm OS devices with integrated barcode scanners that work very well. They also have links to developers that are making applications for their scanners. There is another barcode scanner for Palm's out there, but I don't remember the manufacturer or models it works with. On the software side, there applications like pocket register and pocket inventory, and some of the databases that work with barcode scanners. Symbol also has a free software developement kit and information available. Most developement tools for Palm can access the scanner with the information provided. I have a Symbol 1500 (basically a Palm III with built in scanner) that is great for inventories, etc. JT
