I gotta agree with Rob...

Unless you plan to make the user use their own cell phone / iPad...you're
probably better off with an industrial device.

Sure you can buy ruggedized cases...but that's far from the same...

We use barcode scanning guns with 5250 emulation in the warehouses.
Limitation of 22x15 screen can be frustrating at times.

The guns are aging and before we invent in any more we are considering
if we can get improved functionality and a larger screen with a scanner
plugged in to an iPhone or iPod touch, or some other smart phone.

Is anyone doing 5250 emulation with a scanner on a smart phone or other
similar sized hand held device?
