Recommended PDA
Socket SoMo 650
The Treo PDA will only work if it has Windows Mobile Operating System 2003 or later
installed. MediaScouter will not run on Palm or Blackberrry Operating Systems. The
Treo model must have an expansion slot available for a storage card, and if it comes
with BlueTooth, you can use a BlueTooth scanner.
Barcode Scanners
Socket CompactFlash barcode scanner (5M or 5P) NOT 5E!
The advantages of the CF type scanner include:less expensive, attached to PDA and
therefore receives power from PDA, easy to install and user can look at the screen.
The disadvantages include requiring a CF slot which does not come standard with
the TREO 700w.
Socket Bluetooth wireless barcode scanner (7M or 7P) NOT 7E!
Socket Bluetooth wirelss ring scanner (9M or 9P) NOT 9E!
The advantage of wireless type scanners is that they are easier to hold than the
PDA or smart phone. In addition, it is more discreet. The disadvantages include:
more expense, requires separate charge, extra effort to look at screen (make decisions
via sound), requires Bluetooth wireless which may be interfered with all other bluetooth
devices in the immediate area and requires extra steps to connect.
MediaScouter may work with several other types of PDAs, smart phones and scanners.
However, installation and operation may be more difficult.
