Manny T...SCKT... imo, it's another small step forward to keep their scanners on the forefront of the increasing use of tablets/smartphones for inventory. EX. Warehouse employee using a tablet to scan inventory. It's chilly there (warehouses in WA aren't usually heated very warm) so the worker is using thin gloves. Scan a product (and because of the 2nd patent, Socket scanners are Apple certified and allow the keyboard and scanner to work at the same time), he can then just punch in "15 units" without taking off his gloves (touch screens need a conductive surface---like skin---to work or a stylus). You aren't doing that with a Motorola scanner.

It's a little thing but makes sense.
