While the 7250 is attractive, I'd use an NSLU2 with your own or 3rd
party firmware, see http://www.nslu2-linux.org.  They only cost $80 from
newegg, have USB 2.0 (two ports), could be used with either a USB
scanner directly, USB-to-serial adapter, or there are options for
putting serial on the actual hw.  Note these are low-power enough to be
run on batteries and with a flash stick you'd have relatively tremendous
storage space.  Bluetooth and WIFI also work.
