Wheelchair or Scooter?

Posted on 31. Mar, 2010 by Pride Mobility Chairs.

Wheelchair or Scooter? Computers,Internet,Recreation & Leisure Wheelchairs have evolved over time to give greater comfort and convenience to people who have limited mobility. From simple manual operations, wheelchairs can now be operated automatically with just a few clicks of the button, allowing its riders to perform daily mundane tasks a lot easier and faster.

However, the geniuses that made automatic wheelchairs have also come up with a new invention that is expected to trump wheelchairs in the years to come — electric scooters. Not only are electric scooters easier to use and operate compared to wheelchairs but they are also more chic and stylish that it’s not really embarrassing to go around town in it.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of owning an electric scooter is that it takes you to places farther than the wheelchair can. A wheelchair is okay to use if you’re just inside the house or in a small enclosed area. But if you want to go to the grocery store or the nearby park, an electric scooter is your ally. While it does not go as fast as gas powered scooters, it is fast nevertheless and can even travel for several miles before needing another recharge.

In addition, with electric scooters, all you have to do is plug it in to store power. Its battery life lasts depending on its usage, but, still, it remains better by several points over wheelchairs.

The good news is, with the growing demand for electric scooters, prices are also starting to go down. You can buy an electric scooter for as low as $580, and can even get one for a cheaper price if you scour auctions, sales, and used electric scooter offers. Of course, whenever you purchase something, check it first for signs of damage and find out where it has been before you make any decision.

The Latest in Cordless Barcode Scanners

Posted on 31. Mar, 2010 by Pride Mobility Chairs.

The Latest in Cordless Barcode Scanners Computers Barcode scanners are continuing to evolve and add more capability to everyday cordless barcode scanners. The Motorola MT2000 Handheld Mobile terminal replaces the Phaser line of rugged handheld barcode scanners with 1D and 2D scanning augmented with DPM and image capture capabilities.

In March 2010, there has been a number of exciting barcode scanner product announcements by vendors which will further enable users to improve productivity and reduce costs.

Motorola Enterprise Mobility group which is largely built around the barcode scanning products and technologies gained through its acquisition of Symbol Technologies (the leader in mobile computers and handheld barcode scanners) recently announced the MT2000 Handheld Mobile Terminal. This handheld barcode scanner replaces the Symbol Phaser line of cordless barcode scanners which were the defacto standard for rugged handheld cordless barcode scanners. In addition to providing barcode scanning of 1D and 2D barcodes, this handheld barcode scanner also features DPM and image capture capabilities. Unlike the phase handheld barcode scanners though, the MT2000 Handheld Mobile Terminal does not require MCL for application development as it uses Microsoft’s Windows CE 5.0 operating system; nevertheless, the MT2000 handheld barcode scanner does come with some pre-built inventory applications as well as an MCL client. For cordless barcode scanning, this device uses 802.11a/b/g wireless technologies to provide barcode scanning virtually anywhere in your business. As a rugged barcode scanner, the MT2000 cordless scanner has a 6 ft./1.8 m drop specification, IP54 sealing, and scratch-resistant tempered glass exit window help ensure reliable barcode scanning in spite of everyday drops and exposure to dust and liquids. While Motorola’s discontinuation of the Phaser Series of handheld barcode scanners has been disappointing, it appears that the MT2000 will soon become the defector cordless barcode scanner for companies to implement handheld barcode scanners in the business.

In other developments, Honeywell, formerly Hand Held Products, announces availability of the Honeywell Dolphin 9700 rugged mobile computer with integrated barcode scanner. In addition to wireless LAN, wireless WAN and GPS capabilities, this mobile computer is available with scanner options including the 5300 Standard Range (SR) barcode scanner, the Smart Focus (SF) barcode imager, or the High Density (HD) Imagers with High-Visibility laser aimer
