Some time ago someone mentioned the Koam Tac laser scanners, which could work 
with bluetooth for use with the iPhone.  Has anyone had much experience with 
these?  I think the price was much less than the ID Mate.
 I've been seriously considering making the investment.

  One thing to note is that Digit-Eyes works very well if you use it correctly, 
but a barcode scanner will always be quite a lot faster. So, if you don't want 
to take up to a minute or three to get an item identified, then go for the 
Quest.
  If you go with Digit-Eyes, remember to place the camera on or very close to 
the item, then slowly pull back so the auto-focus can kick in. You also have to 
get good at knowing about where the barcode is located on the item.
  A barcode scanner does not need to focus and can scan significantly faster.
  If you have the $1300 to spend on the Quest, spend $20 on Digit-EYES to see 
if it meets your needs f/)
  Just my opinion,

    HI folks.

    Putting the price difference aside for a moment, what would you folks 
recommend for bar code scanning? An app like Digit-eyes, or a dedicated device 
like the ID Mate Quest?

    P.S. It would be neat if KNFBReader could do this.
