I have a customer using the $199 Google Nexus 7 tablets with Bluetooth scan wedges. They bought a special case for the tablet that straps it to the user's forearm. They are very happy with the result. And to the "breakage" factor, their opinion is they can replace quite a few broken tablets at 200 bucks before it costs more than an rf gun.

Subject: Replacement for 5250 Emulating Gun Scanners

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?

Sam
