A rether unusual device from HTC this one. The P6500 is a larger device that looks rather like a hand-held barcode scanner that you would see in your local supermarket. And that's exactly the kind of application HTC have in mind for this device, even going so far as to say:

Combined with the auto-focus 3 megapixel camera which captures clear, sharp images, the HTC P6500 is perfect for 2D barcode and business card reader applications*. Critical data is kept secure down to storage card level with enhanced security features such as fingerprint ID sensors.
