Socket Mobile
, or SoMo, manufactures handheld computers and data collection software for businesses around the world. The company's devices run the Windows Mobile operating system and connect with a range of barcode scanners. There are several types of reboots available. These include "soft" reboots, which shut down and restart the computer; "hard" reboots, which force the device to restart; and "clean" reborts, which restore factory settings. Each one uses the reset button on the base of the device and a combination of buttons.
