A handheld device (10) for portable data entry held in a user's single hand (30) includes one or more handle-bar apparatus (20, 21) on opposing sides of the back of the device (10) such that the user's fingers (31) wrap around the outer edge (25, 26) and the front panel (11) of the device (10), the inner side (40, 41) of the handle-bar (20, 21) is gripped by the thumb (32), and the device (10) is further supported on the bottom panel (37) by the palm (33) and wrist of the hand (30). A device (10) having handle-bar apparatus (20, 21) is particularly suited for one-handed scanning by adding a scanner (70), and scanning trigger buttons (71, 72) located on the outer edge (25, 26) of the handheld unit (10). |
