Rating : - Perhaps right for some, but not for me.
I bought this scanner to pair with my windows mobile 6 professional device. I spend much of a day attempting to get it to work properly and it never happened. First of all, the baracoda website did not even have software on their site for windows mobile 6. I had to call and tech support emailed me a beta program with quite a few bugs. I did find the gentleman at tech support to be patient and helpful, but we never truly worked anything out. Once the scanner was connected to my device, it would not really read any barcodes but a few and then it submitted over 5 numbers instead of actually reading the barcode. The Pencil 2 never read a bar code on a CD which is why I purchased it.

Unlike the other reviewer, I thought the best part of this scanner was the Stylus function. It was not perfect but it worked and would have worked very well if I could have ever got the scanner to work properly.

Needless to say, I am returning the product for a refund.
