I want to use it. =) An easy-to-use wrapper like that can encourage the creation of scanner software for business applications: consider the use of nokia internet tablets as part of a cost-effective distributed system for inventory. Many specialized scanning devices on the market are disgustingly high: for about $2000, you get a mobile computer/scanner with stats (Intel XScale PXA255 Processor @ 400MHz, 64MB RAM, Windows Mobile 2003) that the N810 can wipe the floor with. At lower prices, you devices with archaic OSs and hardware specs. At $700, you get just the scanner without the computer. The nokia internet tablets are a steal! I would love to see more linux-enabled devices being used in small business. And maybe, if these tablets get enough attention, nokia can roll out a hardy mobile device running maemo that's designed for industrial environments. Tell me if i'm crazy? Kind regards, David
