I'm building a system for a small manufacturing business that requires a mobile barcode scanner (at minimum) and would be great if it could be an RFID reader too. I would really like this to be a powerful device that runs Android and could have custom applications written in Java on it. However, I'm a software guy and I'm not sure where to start on the hardware side.
Is there a good hardware option for this?

You can run Android on the BeagleBoard:
Is there any kit for android development?
You could plug a ready made USB RFID reader into that.
