[RBG7-L] - RE: Pocket Rbase

[ttc . inc]

Thank you for the info.  I was also able to obtain a unit at a very reasonable price from System ID Warehouse.  I had visited thier web site before, but did not see any information on refurbished units.  This fit the price / requirements very well!

So I have ordered Pocket Rbase and a PPT2700 and  am on my way to a new adventure in portable computing!

 

Thanks again.

Bob,

 

I set up an small Pocket RBase app that would transfer over orders to a handheld for our delivery drivers and collect signatures from the recipients.  The unit I used was a Symbol PPT2700  running Windows CE and it has a built in Bar code scanner.  It only has 16 MB of memory, But it ran Pocket RBase fine.  I have not taken the program out of it's initial stages until I finish our upgrade of our main system to RB 7.1.  I got our unit refurbished from a low cost supplier System ID Warehouse (systemid.com) for about $650 with docking station. If you any other questions feel free to contact me.

Subject: [RBG7-L] - Pocket Rbase

I am looking at the possibility of starting a project with Pocket Rbase.  Before I do, I need to review what "handhelds" with barcode scanners are available and what the costs are. 

 

Thus, my request is for information on what equipment people are using out there.  This project will be used for scanning barcodes in our factory so I need the units to be Pocket Rbase compatible, built in scanner, portable and dockable.  I do not foresee using wireless at this time.

 

I have looked at Intermec, Symbol and HDD.  Any comments would be appreciated.  Specifically the Intermec 600 series.

 

Also, I did not see the memory requirements for Pocket Rbase on the web page.  Would someone please be so kind to advise of the actual amount needed to effectively run it?

 

Thanks,

-Bob
