  Symbol Technologies used to offer PalmOS-based handhelds with
built-in barcode readers.  They've since been supllanted by MS Wince
devices, so you can probably find used PalmOS devices cheap.  PalmOS
communicates well with Linux.  I'm told PalmOS development on Linux is
also well supported, and Palm emulators are available for Linux.

  FYI, that is "UPC" -- "Universal Product Code".
