Pendragon and Socket Simplify Bar Code Scanning and GPS Data Collection for Handheld Devices
Pendragon Software, a leading provider of Palm OS® Database Software, and Socket Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT, PSE: SOK), the Mobile Connection™ Company, today announced a new approach to data collection with GPS and bar code scanning for Palm Powered™ handhelds.

Companies can now create Pendragon Forms custom data collection applications for Palm Powered handhelds that use the Socket SDIO In-Hand Scan Card™ and the Socket GPS Receiver with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology. Socket peripherals allow businesses to select the right blend of hardware for their specific PDA data collection needs. Pendragon Forms gives users the tools to build applications for their data collection tasks and hardware. Combining these peripherals and software together creates a powerful handheld development tool for data collection applications.


Eliminating Paper Forms

Using handheld electronic data collection is a proven way to improve a company's bottom line. Pendragon Forms database software enables users to create and deploy multi-user PDA data collection applications without expensive software development projects. Form design simplicity and powerful database synchronization have made the software a popular choice for thousands of field technicians, researchers and healthcare professionals.

Painless Bar Code Scanning

The Socket SDIO In-Hand Scan Card instantly turns the most advanced Palm OS handhelds with SDIO slots into dual purpose bar code scanning devices that can be used for asset management and field service applications. Pendragon Forms provides an easy way to create custom forms that work with the In-Hand Scan Card and that synchronize with corporate database systems.

Convenient GPS Applications

The Socket GPS receiver with Bluetooth Wireless Technology eliminates the need for cables and connectors that make other handheld GPS solutions unwieldy. With Pendragon Forms, it's easy to create applications to collect GPS coordinates along with other data for field surveys, engineering projects and natural resource management.

Pricing & Availability

A Pendragon Forms starter kit including development tools and a single-user license is available for $249. Volume discounts are available on runtime licenses. An evaluation version of Pendragon Forms 4.0 is available for download from the Pendragon Software Web site at http://www.pendragonsoftware.com
