that you can acquire development equipment and software
from many different vendors, including Norand Mobile ysĆ
tems Division of Intermec Technologies Corporation. This
provides you with great flexibility to select equipment and
software tools best suited to your particular development
needs. The challenge lies in finding pieces that work well
together, especially when you are working with communicaĆ
tions and interfaces.
If you have Windows programming experience, you will
quickly feel comfortable with the PEN*KEY 6640 platform.
