Smartphone Android with integrated barcode scanner

I have developed an android application which uses camera for barcode reading. But this method seems to be pretty slow. So I would buy a Smartphone with integrated barcode scanner.

This is an example GS-SL2100 Android Smartphone Scanner

but I'm not sure, if i buy this product, how do i connect of the barcode scanner? Have you any idea? Some suggestion?

Motorola Solutions is developing android-based devices that have a standard (laser-based or imager) bar code scanner. If you are doing a lot of scanning this is what you are going to want to use. Take a look at the MC67.

I am currently developing an app with an integrated barcode scanner making use of Sean Owen's 'ZXing'.

I am not entirely clear as to what you mean by the method being pretty slow. ZXing is generally blazing fast for me, sometimes decoding before the screen has finished loading. I have experienced however, that the scanner sometimes took a long time to scan and kept refocusing. I discovered it was because there were other small example barcodes nearby which was confusing it.

If this is indeed what you meant by it being slow, try scanning a barcode without any other barcodes in view.
