No, it doesn't work like that. The portable scanner is a PDA that has
been rigged with a laser scanner. Specifically, it's a "Symbol PPT
2800." The scanner/pda runs windows mobile. I think it connects to a
USB port. The data in the scanner is transfered with a msft application
called "ActiveSync" it is supposed to be the msft equivilent of Palm's
"HotSync."
There are a lot of advantages to using a portable scanner. It is not
tethered, you can use it anywhere without lugging a computer around.
