There are already serial<>bluetooth devices that will replace a serial cable by a wireless bluetooth connection without drivers ( www.brainboxes.com / www.digi.com ). Scannermaster also sells our ARC-pocket software as a stand alone product. ARC-pocket will not work through a pocket pc's bluetooth adaptor only a fixed serial cable.
