FedEx package warehouse used theses when I worked there.

They weren't these exact models when I was there in 2013-2014, but they're definitely similar. The finger scanner thing was so cool; I was always playing with it when there weren't any packages coming down the conveyor.

FedEx used their own custom version that booted directly into the proprietary scanner system. The new version uses Android (probably 10 or lower) and does the exact same thing. Also, the scanner attachment is now Bluetooth, which only seems like an upgrade until you give it more than one second of thought and realize how easy they are to lose.

Hah! I was just thinking I used someone similar back in 2008-10 I think? Paired with a little hip printer.
