Pocket Pollster on the SoMo 650

Socket Mobile has kindly loaned me one of their new SoMo 650 Pocket PCs. It's a Windows Mobile 5 device and is absolutely spectacular in every way. They included one of their combo RFID / Barcode readers that plugs directly into the Compact Flash port on the top.


There's always a moment of anticipation when I try installing Pocket Pollster onto a new device I've never seen before. But sure enough, it installed flawlessly and worked immediately. I loaded in several existing templates and used one to start a new poll that had a Freeform text field. I positioned the reader near an RFID tag and pressed the hardware button on the left side with my thumb. The tag number was read and immediately copied into the text field.

It's always wonderful when technology works flawlessly from the get go!
