I thought, wow would this ever be nice to do inventory on customers product when I go into there locations,

Then I look at the price tag, $500USD before taxes or duties, using the free picture barcode scanners will be fine for me!

$200 range this would be mine

I wonder if it will do driver's licenses (magnetic and bar codes). We use Palm based devices for ID verification at clubs I support that are always going on the blink and cost twice as much. I'd love to have a reliable BB based system.
