We use these units in our company and they're great! We're a beer distributor and the ruggedness and barcode scanner in combination with the EDGE data transfer are the main selling points for this unit. MobileCharge is great but in our business we use the barcode scanner to scan product barcodes for sales and delivery not for charging credit cards. Plus unlike the PALM SPT1800 that are the current PALM equivelent, these units have the abilty to be used as a phone, easy integration into an Exchange network setup, and have the option of a number keypad that the salesmen love. Sometimes it's the simple things :) So, yes, completely worth the 1,200 dollars we spent on each unit.
