  Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Socket Mobile,
  Inc., (the &quot;<b>Company</b>&quot;), hereby requests acceleration of the
  effective date of its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-159923),

  2009 or as soon thereafter as is practicable.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"> The Company acknowledges
  that: (i) should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority,
  declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission
  from taking any action with respect to the filing; (ii) the action of the Commission
  or the staff acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing
  effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the
  adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and (iii)
  the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness
  as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under
  the federal securities laws of the United States.</font></p>
<p>We also request that a written order verifying the effective date be sent to
  our attorneys, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich &amp; Rosati, 650 Page Mill Road, Palo
