Mobile computer questions
Which mobile computer runs my application?
It depends on the device, its operating system and your software. Confirm that your application supports the operating system before you order, and ask us if you are not sure.

What accessories will I need?
Common ones are batteries, charging cradles, cases and mounts. Accessories are model-specific, so match the exact device model.
Can I use one device for scanning and lookups?
