Inside a Zebra hand held barcode scanner
🕑 Added 2024-02-07 08:51:04 +0000 UTCSpecial thanks to Frost Giant who pointed me in the direction of these being sold on eBay UK.
I'd guess these would be bought for their novelty value, and perhaps the challenge of getting a clean Android install onto them for fun.
They're locked down to the custom application as supplied.

Looks like it runs Android. The bootloader is probably exploitable so it should be relatively easy to get root.

I'm one of those gullible (fools!/nerds!) who buys such things in the hope that it'll be useful in the future! Mine arrived today ;-) I'd like to suggest, if Clive thinks it's worth doing, Could we set up a sub-group in here for those who've bought them and are interested to share notes and documentation? My started for 10 is this link to an MC18 Application Guide which gives an idea of the software which is (probably) installed on these things: https://www.zebra.com/content/dam/zebra_new_ia/en-us/solutions-verticals/product/Mobile_Computers/Hand-Held%20Computers/mc18/selling%20guide/MC18-applications-guide.pdf And here's a search for documentation on the Support portal of the manufacturer: https://www.zebra.com/us/en/sitesearch.html?q=mc18&_charset_=UTF-8&enableConfiguratorSearch=
