Hi everyone,

I'm looking to build an OEM PDA with integrated barcode scanner for an
app we're deploying . Looking to have about 1000 units.

Any ideas whoi makes motherboards for PDA's? I'm having a h**l of a job
finding this out so we can speak to them.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Dave.

Dave,
AFAIK most PDAs are custom-built designs so there is no "motherboard"
maker but just PDA makers.

Try to search through www.globalsources.com which will show up some.
Others I know or have found by google (try keywords: PocketPC ODM)
are: Toshiba, HP, Sharp, HTC http://www.htc.com.tw,
http://www.pemstar.com/ODM.htm, http://www.fic.com.tw/product/pda/ ...

If you are specifically looking for a Linux based PDA,
www.linuxdevices.com is a very good source of recent news and
announcements.

You're also probably looking more for an embedded device manufacturer than
a PDA-specific manufacturer, although as one post mentioned Asus, you'd
probable have fair luck with motherboard manufacturers for
evaluation/development boards

Bad form to follow onto my own post I know, but we've now had our OEM
devices manufactured, thanks.

Specs are:

ruggedised PDA, 15 key keyboard ( buttons 1-9, #,*, U/D/L/R arrows,
tab, shiftm enter and on/off ), integrated Symbol SE 824 barcode
scanner, integrated WLAN, 32mb RAM, 32/64mb ROM, WinCE 5.0, 240W x 320H
mono or colour screens depending on customer preference, USB
connectivity.
Our customer is delighted with these, and so are we. A very satisfying
result at a highly competitive price. Our developers had a field day
learning CE programming, but it's all over now!
Many thanks to the group for some thoughtful advice, I appreciate it.
Regards,
Dave.

Yes, I don't have url's handy but there are a bunch of places where
you get the Intel 270 boards (StrongARM platform). You might also
look at www.gumstix.com.
