[QUOTE="SmithBarney, post: 644415, member: 709"] Let me preface by saying I miss my DIAD...(and I'm at FedEx Express now with the PowerPad) The DIAD Scans much faster than the PowerPad i miss that(I have a couple bulk stops) PowerPad uses 2D scanning I believe and amazingly scans some barcodes that have been beat ripped etc.) 2D might be why its so slow to scan. PowerPad runs on top of windows mobile in a shell app... it absolutely sucks for reliability we send back on average 4-5 a week for repairs. I can't ever remember sending back a DIAD.(I'm sure it happens) Now reliability could be the hardware, but I put my money on the software.(at fedex) I do like the graphical interface that FedEx uses for interface, vs big arrow little arrows.. while I wouldn't foresee a major overhaul in the software(don't fix what aint broke) The touch screen on the PPAD screen is very similar to the Palm Pilot screens its firmer than the DIAD screen, thus why customers generally like the PPAD vs DIAD. We use a firm stylus vs the DIAD stylus which is slightly softer giving a rubbery/grippy feel while writing. [/QUOTE]
