Default Barcode reader

Guys
I want to use my XDA Orbit II to use it as a barcode reader. I found out a barcode reader that reads from an image but it is tool slow. Now I found this http://www.socketmobile.com/products...ories/series3/ but this works only on SD. Now the HTC has a microSD slot. Can I use something to use this device in my O2 XDA Orbit 2?????

Thanks

I dont know what you say ... If you read a barcode and it goes you to a website (for example), you follow your "work" at this web or other app, but ... why do you want read other codebar?

At any rate, i think that the app run under the browser or the new open app.

Regards!

What I need is the following.

I would have a ticket with a particular barcode. The PDA will then be used to read this barcode check whether this barcode is valid, by connecting to a database, and then returning whether the code is valid or not.

I will develop the application myself on .NET compact framework that will interact with my database.

I am trying to find several solutions. For example there are bluetooth barcode scanner that scan the code and then send them to the paired device, or else I use an SD barcode reader. But in this case I would have to buy another PDA that has an SD slot.

Thanks

newera: You said that you want barcode reader. But you also said, you want that barcode reader to trigger another external app. This might be a problem and you must use some reader with API, for example QuickMark Barcode Reader. Maybe it will help you.
