Socket Communications announced the availability of the Secure Digital Scan Card 3M (SDSC 3M). Designed for mobile devices running on Windows Mobile or
Palm OS, the SDSC provides a viable solution for users with 1D bar code scanning applications that need to collect bar coded data.
"Gartner research recently found that the mobile workforce ranks among the top three priorities for
chief information officers in 2006," said Vanessa Lindsay, product marketing manager at Socket Communications. "Today, companies are gravitating towards bar code scanning
technology to automate data collection, reduce errors and maximize efficiency. With the SDSC 3M, scanning data is 50 times faster and 10,000 times more accurate than manual data entry."
The SDSC 3M features a SE-955 Class 1 Laser Scanner in the SDIO form factor and is suited for one-handed operation, being able to scan up to 30 inches depending on the bar code size. The SDSC 3M includes SocketScan, the keyboard emulation software that directs scanned data into any
Windows Mobile or Palm application as virtual keystrokes. A Software Developers Kit is available separately for developers who wish to embed control of the SDSC 3M into their applications.
The Socket Secure Digital Scan Card 3M is compatible with devices running on Palm OS 4.1 or greater and Pocket PCs running on Windows Mobile 2003/2003SE or Windows Mobile 5.0; and it will be available beginning with October 24 for a suggested retail price of $399.
