I think the thought is that the six or seven hundred dollar scanner is going to do a much better job finding and reading bar codes then the I pone's camera.

Hello Erik, Nancy and Steve,

My question would be why somebody would spend around $600 or $700 for
a Koamtac bluetooth scanner just so he can get better use from an iPod
Touch with barcode scanning. First of all, who knows if the next
generation iPod Touch doesn't get a 5 MP auto-focus camera like the
iPad just did. Second, for $750 you can go to Apple and buy an
unlocked 32 Gb iPhone 4S and you'll have no more issues. In a way a
good omni-directional barcode scanner is of course always better than
the iPhone, I have a retail business and my basic USB Symbol scanner
is quite efficient and forgiving at picking up barcodes, but before I
spent this kind of money for a device that can do exactly one thing
I'd rather buy myself an iPhone 4S or, if you are so inclined, wait 6
months and buy the next new iPhone.


Regards,
Sieghard
