**Read Barcode on PDA**
**HINT**: the code for this project is already out there on the web for each device. However, if you have not made software for PDA devices before, **do NOT apply for this project**.
? The application must activate the PDA's barcode scanner (always on) and read a barcode and dump the entire value of the barcode into whatever text box happens to have the focus. We will be reading GS1 128 and T9 barcodes, however, other barcodes may be used so please dump all available formats into the reader to allow for future expansion.
? The application must run in the background as a service and be always on, and still work when other applications (such as the browser) have the focus
? The branding used on the installer (ie: company name and copyright) will be exclusive to our company and will be provided upon successful bid

? The branding used on the installer (ie: company name and copyright) will be exclusive to our company and will be provided upon successful bid
? To activate scanning, please capture the devices scanning button(s)
? At the end of each barcode a return character must be simulated (ie: the equivalent of pressing Enter on a keyboard), this return character will activate features in the software.
? The application must work on **Motorola PDA's (and legacy support for Symbol M series from 2009) AND Datalogic PDA's** (each company provides simulators) - we prefer one application, however, are aware that you may need to have two applications due to driver incompatibility when combining them in the one application
? To test your application, ensure your program dumps the barcodes entire value into a text document and moves the cursor to the next line, please perform simulated barcode reading test using GS1 128 and T9 barcodes.
**Deliverables:**
Barcode reading application CAB's or compiled versions (MSI , exe, or whatever installs on the device) for Windows Mobile 2003 (CE and non CE), **Windows Mobile 5x, and 6x (CE and non CE versions)**
The installers must be as simple as copying the program to the device and running it and clicking NEXT NEXT NEXT NEXT. The user should not have to enter any information and everything should default perfectly. You must provide clear installation instructions and a list of pre-requisites (and download URL's) for EACH operating system version.
The most commonly used devices will be:
Motorola MD5590, , MC55, MC75, and Symbol PTT8800
Other devices include **Motorola AND Datalogic**
Motorola MC55 , MC75, MC3000 family, MC 9000 family, FR, MT, VC
Datalogic Falcon X3, Kyman, Memor, Skorpio, Falcon, Elf
The software must install and scan barcodes on all of the above devices.
