Semtek just released the I-Swipe, a magnetic card reader for Compaq iPAQ Pocket PCs. "It interfaces to the serial port at the bottom of the iPAQ, leaving the expansion packs available for other devices. ... The I-Swipe reads magnetic cards encoded to ANSI, ISO, 7811 and 7812, AAMVA and CA DMV cards."
New usage scenarios for developers to dive into:
"Credit Card Processing
POS / Order Desk / Restaurants
Medical ID Cards
Lead Retrieval
Age / ID Verification / Public Safety"
