I've been said the XDAII (TSM500 in Spain) camera is also able to function as a barcode scanner with some specific software. Can Anybody tell me whether this is possible and which is the programmes I would need for this purpose??
i believe that you forgot to post this
in
ROM updates
Unlocking
GPRS/WAP settings
Accessories
Pocket PC
Off-topic
Programmers corner
Other techie stuff
forums they get Jealous when you post the same post soo many times in
only 2 forums and not in them
search the forum this have been talked about more then once
it seems you need to buy a backpack to get barcode options
not just software
I think you can develop your own scanner if you have the barcode decoding SDKs, search AIPSYS which is a professional barcode SDK developer.

Hi All
Having lurked for a while have now joined - what a fantastic forum
Anyway my question is as follows:
I have a laptop with video cam and my XDA Exec with video cam - is there any software for both laptop and PDA that will allow me to link the two together - essentially I would like to be able to use my PDA while away with work to speak to and see my son at home via the laptop
Not sure he will like the idea but as a home sick Mum it would be great
Thanks for the help

It should be possible as Microsoft standardized the camera's API drivers with WM2005 to enable 3rd party to write the software you looking for! However ive let to find any such software yet, but its early days yet
Has anyone heard anything about Agile Messenger or msn messenger coming out with on-board camera support?
A.
Would be cool 8)
Hi, i've been lurking around the forums for a while, and i managed to unlock and update my wizard to Blackdiamond 3.1 thanks to the wonderful tutorials (evilmonkey rules).
However, i've been trying to find a source for programs that are compatable with the wizard (be it wm5 or wm6) and i can only really find crappy sites that charge money for free programs.
i don't want anything illegal , but i'd just like a source of where to find programs that will work on the wizard that are free, like Java support, a Sudouku game, games, misc apps...etc
searching around the forums, i've found a few programs such as Mplayer (that doesn't work quite well on the wizard) and pocketnester (freaking Awesome) but does anyone have a more concise source of what works for SURE on the wizard? ( there are some programs that aren't included on certain distros, even though i would love to have them)
thanks in advance. If i have missed a similar post, then please feel free to call me an idiot and direct me to the post.
many here

yes, i already did that, what i was referring to in general, was software that actually worked flawlessly on the wizard be it wm5 or wm6.
Hey Guyz,
Long time no see..! I have been assigned to develope a barcode scanning application using .NET Compact Framework 2.0 (I can use 3.5 if necessary).
Right then to the point, I have already developed and finished the barcode application and there came a new demand from the business team who uses the application.
Basically the devices we use are HP iPaq (Windows Mobile 6 Professional) in combination with Grabba barcode scanner. They have requested that the application I wrote starts automatically and covers the entire screen. Now as for covering the entire screen is working fine but I need to do something about starting the application when the device starts up or when a device is put to sleep by clicking the power button and then bring back, the application should start up or show up automatically.
Now I have been researching and exploring a lot of third party applications and one application so far that comes the closest to my needs is the SPB Mobile Shell. It does pretty much what I want apart from locking down all buttons.
Now what I would like to know is, is it even possible to lock down all buttons at all? If not then how would I atleast go about developing an app which behaves like a SPB Mobile Shell? I know that the SPB Mobile Shell is very complicated application but all I want if the behaviour of SPB Mobile Shell's Today screen.
If I need to start by creating my own custom shell then where would I start from?
Regards
I'm not a developer, but hopefully this will help. You would be better off looking at kiosk software such as spb kiosk, whick locks down the whole device apart from programs you specify, ie. your developed app, and any other apps that are used.
This is a virus, not an application.
You use your pocket pc only for barcode reading. Why not use just a reader which costs 10 times less??
And no, SPB is not a complicated application.

Please don't judge me by my post count or the type of question. This is a genuine question.
Tell me what sort of device you think I can use which costs 10 times less.
I need a device with Wi-Fi so users can take it with them while attached to the barcode scanner. Then using the Wi-Fi the application connects and talks a web service running on the intranet server so users from all around the country can manage state of things that are needed to be tracked of their movement.
This was a specific request from the CIO that users are not needed to use any other applications and thus complicate things for themselves. All they want is just to use the application without any special training.
Hope this clears things a little.

Thanks mate
I will pass this down to the chief architect so we can decide if the SPB Kiosk can do of what we need.
Cheers again.
FYI, we are going to try the PocketKiosk Builder
http://www.askarya.com/pocketpc/pocketkiosk/pk.asp
Will see how that goes.
And what about puting a link to your app in the windows\statup folder?

Another idea
Old thread, but...
Why not go for a unit with a built in barcode reader and Wifi/GPRS like the Motorola MC55 / MC75A?
Then you can use the Motorola AppCentre software which allows you to restrict which programs can be launched and presents a really simple interface for the user. I'm pretty sure you can download this software free with the serial number of one of their units.
Users will have no need to hunt for Wifi connectivity as the units have built in connectivity to the Internet. All you need is a low data allowance SIM with voice calls blocked.
The units are more expensive than the HP iPAQ, but they do more as well.
Hopefully someone might find this information useful.

Was searching the internet to find a new method of logging on to my home computer. Came across a face recognition login for Windows ONLY called FaceCode. The product it self works fine on my XP OS, wanted to know if the same product could be made for Windows Mobile based PDA's. I'm not much of a computer wiz myself and just thought i would ask the xda development community of what they thought and if it was possible?
FACECODE IS NOT A FREEWARE APP, SO PLEASE DONT ASK HOW TO GET IF FOR FREE. THIS THREAD IS PRIMARILY FOR INFORMATION ON FUTURE BUILDS

Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone knew if the app called Bar Scan ( or something like that) for android has been released for Windows Mobile? The app allows one to scan bar codes(I believe via the camera) and search for better prices online using the SKU number.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
hi!
there is a free program called i-nigma that uses the camera, but it's a scanner for QR Code and Data Matrix
look at this http://www.i-nigma.com/personal/Default.asp
bye
Quickmark http://www.quickmark.com.tw/En/basic/index.asp is a very fast 2d code scanner. But it looks like there isn't any 1d barcode scanner available for wm devices.
Hello again!
Thank you for your suggestions, they both look very promising and I will have to look into both of them!!
Thanks again, Best Regards.
i dont think any of those are what he is looking for...
I had ported ZXing barcode library (google it) from java to C# .net a couple months ago (when I was prototyping a barcode app) but I haven't really tried it yet. An easier way for .NET developers might be to try using the ZXing just as it is via J#.
This would be awesome, but unfortunately, it won't let me complete a purchase. My IMEI has 2 alpha characters in it, and they want 15 numbers, even though it's made for the Touch Diamond. Bummer.
Do a search in the forum for barcorama, it works on my fuze.
Thanks for the tip! It works, although not nearly as well at capturing as QuickMark, but it will do for now.
Here's barcorama
thank you darkness!
