    I use SerialMagic Gears daily with the Scanfob® 2006, Scanfob® 3002i, Scanfob® NFC-BB2, Scanfob® Ultra-BB2, and it's fantastic! It allows me to post scanned data directly into my Android apps with ease. I recommend it to anyone who uses Android and the Scanfob® Brand scanners.

    It is so easy and customer service is great. You do have to read about your device and understand that Serial Magic Gears " manages" your device.

    My blue tooth connection is constantly lost and serial gears crashes in startup. Unstable and hogs my phone resources while looping.

    I called serialio and they blamed my hardware. I have htc android fairly modern. Matt seny me a pdf that was no help at all. Then when i contacted them for personal support,.they wanted $50n since i was going to create a "customer support incident"

    I also.paid.them $19 to transfer their software from my old pda to a newer.pda. that would not work either. They grudgingly gave me a refund after i complained. Then a week after that transation, hackers emptied my bank accout.

    Serialio i hope u can learn from this and treat your customers better or like.me, they wil leave. I know.serialio says they r the best, but i was treated badly. They put up pages of glowing customer reviews where supposed customers go into great detail about how awesome serial magic is. It's hard for me to swallow this. And at over $300+ i would like to b treated better than an annoyance. I've since bought socketscan for $50 less with no software or disgruntled current employees to deal with.
