You probably have seen employees in your favorite store moving from isle to isle, scanning products that are depleted on the shelves.  They also are probably carrying a large scanner gun. 

The new lightweight Finger Scanner from Socket Communications is a very innovative solution to help those poor folks scan items all day.  It is worn around the index finger, is wireless - and - all the user has to do is to point his finger on the barcode. The Bluetooth wrist device transmits data wirelessly to a computer.

The Finger Scanner is made of light-weight "liquidmetal" housing and is extremely durable.    More pics ahead...
