I bought a quicklink handheld scanner from Buy.com a few days ago. The sucker goes back tomorrow!!!!! It is a very good concept, a text scanner that can be held in your hand and beam data to a PDA or laptop, or connect via serial or usb-serial to a PC. The problem is that the implementation is the pits! It can barely read anything. Most of what gets scanned in comes out as gibberish. As I am a thesis student, I don't have the time to play games with it. If you have time to figure out how to get it to scan properly, more power to you, but I have better ways to spend my time and hard earned $$$.
