MobilePDQ™, Data Concepts' Window Mobile client, will operate flawlessly on any Microsoft certified Windows Mobile 2005 computer with two exceptions (scanning and printing). We can still license our software to your company if you have invested in handheld computers (Windows Mobile certified) that we do not sell.
 
These mobile devices would be Pocket PC's other than from Intermec, Symbol (Motorola) or Socket Mobile.
 
Windows Mobile does not have standard printer or barcode scanner device drivers. We will need to work with your manufacturer or dealer to get the SDK (Software Development Kit) for your device so we can obtain the .NET code to include in our program to print or scan barcodes.
 
Our experience is that consumer-level PDA's including iPAQ's and Pocket PC Phones are not durable enough for traditional DSD route activities such as beer or soft drink delivery. However, they may work in less strenuous activities such as sales order taking. 
 
The Socket SoMo-650 and Motorola MC-50 Pocket PC's are very reasonably priced and are only slightly more expensive than a higher-end consumer PDA. The lower-priced devices are often more expensive in the long run (3 - 5 years) because of the costs associated with down time and maintenance. The higher the drop test, the more durable the handheld computer.
