Pocket PC Asset Manager using Radio Frequency Identification

Pocket personal computers (PPC), commonly used as cell phones and personal digital assistants, offer potential as low-cost asset tracking devices with the addition of radio frequency identification (RFID) peripherals and applications. These enhanced devices could be used to record and track inventory at lower cost than current solutions. However, their lower processing power and limited software environment might limit their viability to perform this function. The results below suggest they have good potential for this application, but further testing in an integrated environment is required.
