Hi -- I just purchased a Wasp WCS3905 scanner with a USB cable connection (part number: 633808091040). I tested it out and it works just fine on my Microsoft Vista PC.

I realize that it's a little late (having already gotten an HTC Tilt, partly for this use), but I was wondering whether I'd run into any gotcha's connecting the USB scanner to a mini USB adapter and then connect that to the phone (which uses a mini-USB receptacle).

Might I also run into any Windows drivers issues? I didn't need one for it to work properly under Vista (confirmed by Wasp), but it did prefer running with an HID keyboard driver. Is all this doable?

FWIW, I'd like to walk around with the scanner and phone and get barcodes off my DVDs (I use Invelos' DVD Profiler and DVD Profiler Mobile -- the two will sync using their own routine), located at a good distance from any available PC. Since the barcode scanner probably gets it's power over the USB connection, that might also be a problem not originally thought of.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
