SCKT: Verifone ($3.7B) + Fujitsu ($8.7B) + Socket?!?
Could this be the system that Fujitsu used recently at a Japanese retailer that incorporated 3200 Socket 7ci scanners?? Probably is a good guess imo. First of many I'm sure. This is the power that partnerships with companies the size of Fujitsu, NCR, Casio (+100 other point of sale systems) will have on the future of scanner sales for Socket.
In November 2012 news release by Fujitsu:
