Thanks Sean! I have purchased and used both Syclo and Maximo Mobile Suite. Neither solution is very feasibly for what we need to do. The idea of an external scanner on the device itself just may work. Having to carry an external device to scan will not work for our use so the icprint solution just may work.
Thanks Again!

So any hardware solution should work with it in the same way it would work with any other app. Get an external barcode scanner you like, browse to maximo URL, open application, click in field to enter data / barcode into, scan barcode, click search, next field, etc. Everyplace isn't an app you load on the devices, it just uses the devices native browser. So instead of using a PC you're using an iPad.

These are software solutions, but some support multiple devices (iOS, Android, WinCE). I've personally had experience with Syclo from an iOS device, it's pretty slick.
