Sam,
We have done some work with Wasp Scanners based on Windows Mobile.
Barcode scanner built in.
With this scenario you could eliminate the 5250 emulator and use TCP/IP traffic to communicate to the iSeries.
Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss more.

Subject: Replacement for 5250 Emulating Gun Scanners
We use barcode scanning guns with 5250 emulation in the warehouses.
Limitation of 22x15 screen can be frustrating at times.
The guns are aging and before we invent in any more we are considering
if we can get improved functionality and a larger screen with a scanner
plugged in to an iPhone or iPod touch, or some other smart phone.
Is anyone doing 5250 emulation with a scanner on a smart phone or other
similar sized hand held device?
