<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
  behalf of Socket Mobile, Inc. (the &quot;<b>Company</b>&quot;), we are submitting
  this letter to you in response to your letter of January 3, 2011, which letter
  set forth comments of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

  registration statement filed by the Company with the Commission on December
  17, 2010 with the file number set forth above (the &quot;<b>Registration</b>
  <b>Statement</b>&quot;). This letter sets forth the Company's responses to the
  Staff's comments. <br>
  </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">The Company is concurrently
  filing via EDGAR Amendment No. 1 (the &quot;<b>Amendment</b>&quot;) to the Registration
  Statement, which effects certain modifications to the Registration Statement
  in response to the Staff's comments, as indicated below. <br>
  </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">For your convenience, we
  have numbered and restated in italics each comment to correspond to the numbering

<p><b><i>Form S-3 filed December 17, 2010</i></b></p>
<p><i><u>General</u></i></p>
<p>1. <i>You held your annual meeting on April 29, 2010, but did not file a Form
  8-K reporting the results until May 5, 2010. Instruction 1 to Item 5.07 of Form
  8-K provides that the four business day period for reporting the event under
  Item 5.07 shall begin to run on the day on which the meeting ended. In your
  response letter, please provide us with a detailed analysis supporting your
  belief that the Form 8-K was timely filed and addressing your eligibility to
  use Form S-3. Refer to General Instruction I.A.3(b) of Form S-3.</i></p>
<blockquote>
  <p><b>Response</b>: The Company believes that the Form 8-K reporting the results
    of the annual meeting held on April 29, 2010 was timely filed. We refer to
    Question 121A.01 of the Staff's Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations
    relating to Form 8-K, which indicates that day one of the four-business day
    filing period required by Instruction 1 to Item 5.07 of Form 8-K is &quot;the
    day after the date on which the shareholder meeting ends.&quot; In this case,
    the Company's annual meeting ended on Thursday, April 29, 2010, which indicates
    that Friday, April 30, 2010 is day one of the filing period and Wednesday,
    May 5, 2010 is day four of the filing period. Therefore, we believe the Company's
    filing of the Form 8-K reporting the results of the annual meeting on May
    5, 2010 should be considered timely, and in compliance with the requirements
    under paragraph 3(b) of General Instruction I.A.3 of Form S-3 in order for
    the Company to maintain its eligibility to use Form S-3.</p>

<p>2. <i>We note your reference to Securities Act Rule 416 in section (c) of footnote
  1 to the fee table. Please note you may not rely on Rule 416 to register for
  resale an indeterminate number of shares of common stock that you may issue
  under a conversion formula based on fluctuating market prices; you must register
  for resale the maximum number of shares that you think you may issue on conversion,
  based on a good-faith estimate and, if the estimate turns out to be insufficient,
  you must file a new registration statement to register the additional shares
  for resale. For guidance, refer to Question 213.02 of the Division of Corporation
  Finance's Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations of Securities Act Rules.
  Please confirm your understanding in your response letter.</i></p>
