Exhibits or Annexes hereto, this "Schedule 14D-9" or "Statement") relates is
the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock" or the
"Shares"). As of August 12, 2002, there were 10,416,141 shares of Common Stock
outstanding.


ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND OF FILING PERSON

     The filing person is the subject company. The Company's name, address and
telephone number are set forth in Item 1 above.

     This Statement relates to the tender offer by Symbol Acquisition Corp.
(the "Purchaser"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Symbol Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), to purchase all
of the outstanding Shares at a purchase price of $0.46 per share, net to the
seller in cash (the "Offer Price"), upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase, dated August 19,
2002 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of Transmittal
(which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively
constitute the "Offer"). The Offer is described in a Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule TO (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Schedule TO"),
filed by the Purchaser with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
19, 2002.

     The Offer is being made in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated August 12, 2002 by and among Parent, the Purchaser and the Company
(the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, following completion of the
Offer, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL"), the Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger").
Following the consummation of the Merger, the Company will continue as the
surviving corporation and will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the
effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each issued and
outstanding Share (other than shares owned by Parent, the Purchaser, any of
their respective subsidiaries, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company,
and Shares held by stockholders who did not vote in favor of the Merger
Agreement and who comply with all the relevant provisions of Section 262 of the
DGCL relating to dissenter's rights of appraisal) will be converted into the
right to receive the same amount in cash per share that is paid pursuant to the
Offer (the "Merger Consideration"). In addition, at the Effective Time, each
then outstanding option to purchase Common Stock under the Company's 1996 Stock
Option Plan, whether or not otherwise vested and exercisable ("Stock Option")
shall be cancelled by the Company and in consideration of such cancellation
and, except to the extent that Parent and the holder of any such Stock Option
otherwise agree, the Company shall pay to such holders of Stock Options an
amount in respect thereof equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of
(i) the Merger Consideration over (ii) the exercise price per Share subject to
such Stock Option and (B) the number of Shares subject to such Stock Option
immediately prior to its cancellation. Such payment shall be less any required
withholding taxes and without interest.

     The Schedule TO states that the principal office of Parent and the
Purchaser are located at One Symbol Plaza, Holtsville, New York 11742.

 INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS

     Certain members of the Company's management and the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "Board") may be deemed to have interests in the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement that are in addition to their interests as
Company stockholders generally. Such interests include, but are not limited to,
certain Board members being required to sign the Tender Agreement, continued
employment with the Company, possibility of continuing as a member of the Board
and immediate vesting of all Stock Options. The Board was aware of these
interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the Merger
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.


 STOCK-BASED RIGHTS

     The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, each
outstanding stock option issued by the Company to acquire Common Stock, whether
vested or unvested, will be cancelled, and the option holder will


                                       2
<PAGE>

be entitled to receive an amount equal to the excess of the Merger Consideration
over the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
underlying the option, less applicable withholding taxes and without interest.
The number of shares subject to options is as follows: Mr. John Wood, 765,000
shares; Mr. Llavan Fernando, 767,940 shares; Mr. Ed Kolasinski, 90,000 shares;
Mr. Matt Graves, 125,000 shares; Mr. James Dorrian, 0 shares; and all directors
and executive officers of the Company, including the foregoing (7 individuals),
1,957,940 shares. All unvested options described above shall vest upon
consummation of the Merger.


 OTHER PLANS


     It is expected that, initially following the Merger, the business and
operations of the Company will generally continue as they are currently being
conducted. Parent currently intends to cause the Company's operations to
continue to be run and managed by, amongst others, the Company's existing
executive officers. Parent states that it will continue to evaluate all aspects
of the business, operations, capitalization and management of the Company
during the pendency of the Offer and after the consummation of the Offer and
the Merger and will take such further actions as it deems appropriate under the
circumstances then existing. Parent intends to seek additional information
about the Company during this period. Thereafter, Parent intends to review such
information as part of a comprehensive review of the Company's business,
operations, capitalization and management.


ITEM 4. THE SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION


 RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.


     At a meeting held on August 6, 2002, the Board determined that the Merger
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were the best option
available after a long search for investors and potential acquirers. The Board
further believes that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are
advisable, fair to, and in the best interest of the stockholders of the
Company. At this meeting, the Board approved the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and approved the Merger
Agreement and such transactions for the purposes of Section 203 of DGCL. YOUR
BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS ACCEPT THE OFFER AND TENDER
THEIR SHARES IN THE OFFER.


 BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER, CONTRACT WITH PURCHASER


     On or about October 1, 2001, the Company acquired Crossvue, Inc.
("Crossvue"). Since Crossvue had approximately $3,000,000 in cash, it was an
attractive acquistion candidate for the Company. However, notwithstanding the
acquisition of Crossvue, the Company continued to look for additional capital
necessary to fully implement its business plan. After an unsuccessful search
for additional capital, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board")
authorized the officers to seek a buyer for the Company. The Company hired Jane
Capital Partners LLC as its investment bank to seek a buyer for the Company.


     During the first half of 2002, the Company held discussions with numerous
parties, including Hand Held Products, Inc. ("HHP"), regarding a possible
acquisition of the Company or an investment in the Company. The discussions with
HHP culminated in an asset purchase agreement, executed by the Company, Crossvue
and HHP on June 26, 2002 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), whereby the Company
and Crossvue agreed to transfer to HHP substantially all of their business,
properties and assets.


     During the Company's negotiations with HHP, Parent indicated an interest
in acquiring the Company. On June 20, 2002, the Company and Parent entered into
the Confidentiality Agreement.


                                       3
<PAGE>

     On July 19, 2002, Parent proposed the Offer and the Merger to the Company
by delivery of the following letter:


                                        July 19, 2002

    Mr. John Wood
    Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
    @POS.com, Inc.
    3051 North First Street
    San Jose, CA 95134 U.S.A.


    Dear John:


    We are pleased to propose that Symbol Technologies, Inc. acquire all of
    the outstanding equity interests in @POS.com, Inc. (the "Company") for an
    aggregate purchase price of $5.5 million. The proposed transaction would
    be effected through a customary negotiated two-step merger agreement,
    whereby Symbol would make a tender offer for all of the outstanding common
    stock of the Company.


    We have reviewed the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of June 26, 2002
    among the Company, Crossvue, Inc. and Hand Held Products, Inc. and are
    confident that the Company's Board will conclude that our proposal
    constitutes a "Superior Proposal" as defined in such Asset Purchase
    Agreement. In addition to the higher consideration for your shareholders
    contemplated by our proposal, we believe that our proposed transaction
    would have a number of significant advantages over the transaction
    contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, including the absence of any
    hold-back provision or any risk that the value available to shareholders
    would be reduced by the Company's retained liabilities. We also believe
    that our proposed transaction would have fewer conditions, can be
    completed substantially faster and is potentially more tax efficient for
    your shareholders.


    In addition, we are prepared to fund a loan to the Company in an amount
    necessary to fully repay HHP under the Convertible Promissory Note dated
    June 26, 2002 (including any break-up fee payable) simultaneously with the
    execution of a definitive agreement between Symbol and the Company and
    thereafter provide additional working capital advances to the Company,
    which loan and advances will not exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate. Such
    loan and advances shall be on terms substantially the same as the
    Convertible Promissory Note currently held by HHP.


    Symbol intends to obtain the funds necessary to complete the transaction
    from existing cash balances. As we are sure you are aware, we are the
    global leader in mobile data transaction systems with annual revenues in
    excess of $1 billion dollars and with a market capitalization (even at
    today's depressed levels) in excess of $1 billion.


    Our proposal is subject only to the following conditions: (i) the
    completion of satisfactory due diligence to be conducted by us and our
    advisors and (ii) the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements
    on terms satisfactory to the parties thereto. We have reviewed the
    publicly available information on the Company and we believe that our due
    diligence would be completed expeditiously and would not delay the
    execution of definitive agreements.


    If the Company determines to promptly accept our proposal, the transaction
    could be completed as early as end of August 2002. Unless earlier
    accepted, this proposal will terminate at 5:00 PM on July 26, 2002.


    We look forward to discussing this proposal and negotiating definitive
    agreements with you immediately. In responding to us or in seeking further
    information concerning our proposal, or for any other matter, please call
    me at (631) 738-4765.
                                        Sincerely yours,

                                        Leonard Goldner
                                        Executive Vice President and General
                                        Counsel
     cc:  R. Bravman

     On July 22, 2002, the Board met to consider Parent's proposal in relation
to the Asset Purchase Agreement and whether there were any other possible
parties interested in acquiring the Company. During such meeting, Jane Capital
Partners LLC discussed various financial considerations relating to Parent's
proposal with the Board. As a condition for proceeding with Parent's proposal,
the Board requested that Parent provide the Company with interim working
capital prior to the negotiation of a definitive Merger Agreement. Following
the meeting of the Board on that date, the Company issued a press release
stating that it had received Parent's proposal and that the Board had
determined Parent's proposal to constitute a superior proposal to the Asset
Purchase Agreement. The Company also delivered a copy of Parent's proposal to
HHP. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, HHP had the greater of two full
business days or 48 hours following its receipt of Parent's proposal to match
the terms of such proposal.

     In response, Parent delivered a letter dated July 25, 2002 substantially
identical to the letter dated July 19, 2002 except that Parent substituted the
following language to address the request of the Company for interim working
capital:

     In addition, we are willing to fund (i) up to $400,000 of interim working
     capital advances prior to the execution of a definitive agreement between
     Symbol and the Company, (ii) a loan to the Company in an amount necessary
     to fully repay HHP under its promissory note simultaneously with the
     execution of the definitive Merger Agreement and (iii) thereafter provide
     additional working capital advances to the Company, which loans and
     advances under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) would not exceed $2,000,000 in
     the aggregate. Such loan and advances shall be on terms substantially the
     same as the Convertible Promissory Note currently held by HHP.

     On July 25, 2002, the Board and its financial and legal advisors met to
discuss Parent's letter of the same date and the interim financing needs of the
Company and decided to proceed with negotiations with Parent on the basis of
such letter. On July 26, 2002, the Company and Crossvue entered into a
convertible promissory note in the amount of $400,000 (the "Original Note") in
favor of Parent. A copy of the Original Note has been filed as Exhibit (d)(4)
to the Schedule TO filed by Parent and the Purchaser with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 19, 2002.

     Between July 26, 2002 and August 6, 2002, the parties and their respective
counsel negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement and the related documents,
including the increased amount of the Amended Note.

     On August 6, 2002, the Board and its financial and legal advisors again
met to consider the Merger Agreement and the related documents, the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the status of inquiries made by other parties interested
in the Company. Following the discussion, the Board determined that the terms
of the Merger Agreement and the related documents were the most favorable terms
received to date, and under the circumstances were advisable, fair to and in
the best interests of the stockholders of the Company. The Board approved the
Merger Agreement, the related documents and the transactions contemplated
thereby, and determined to recommend that the Company's stockholders tender
their Shares pursuant to the Offer. The Board also determined to terminate the
Asset Purchase Agreement and related documents concluded with HHP pursuant to
the terms thereof on the basis that (a) the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement and the related documents constituted a transaction more
favorable to the stockholders of the Company than that contemplated by the
Asset Purchase Agreement and that Parent was financially capable of
consummating the Offer and the Merger and (b) HHP failed to match the terms of
the Offer and the Merger within the time period allocated by the Asset Purchase
Agreement.

     Between August 6, 2002 and August 12, 2002, the parties completed
arrangements necessary to enter into the Merger Agreement, including delivery
of a notice to HHP to terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement and obtaining from
HHP a release of its security interests in the Company's and Crossvue's assets.

     On August 12, 2002, Parent, the Purchaser and the Company executed the
Merger Agreement. On that same day, the Purchaser and certain stockholders of
the Company entered into the Tender Agreement in which such stockholders agreed
to tender their Shares in the Offer. In addition, on that day, Parent, the
Company and Crossvue entered into the Amended Note replacing the Original Note
to repay in full all of the borrowings outstanding under the promissory note
held by HHP and to provide additional working capital for the Company. The
Amended Note is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the
assets of the Company and Crossvue.


                                       5
<PAGE>

     On August 19, 2002, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser
commenced the Offer.


 REASONS FOR THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     In approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby, including the Offer and the Merger, and recommending that all holders
of Common Stock accept the Offer and tender their shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the Offer, the Board considered a number of factors, including the
following:

   1.  TRANSACTION FINANCIAL TERMS. The Board determined that the aggregate
       consideration to the Company's stockholders pursuant to the Merger
       Agreement, including the assumption of the Company's liabilities by
       Parent, is superior to the transaction contemplated by the Asset
       Purchase Agreement. The Board also considered the relationship of the
       Offer Price to the historical market prices of the Common Stock.

   2.  COMPANY OPERATING AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. The Board considered the
       current and historical financial condition and results of operations of
       the Company, the Company's cash position, as well as the prospects and
       strategic objectives of the Company, including the risks involved in
       achieving those prospects and objectives, and the current and expected
       conditions in the industry in which the Company's business operates.

   3.  STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES. The Board considered the strategic alternatives
       available to the Company, including the possibility of obtaining
       additional investment and the possibility of growing its business while
       remaining an independent public company. The Company made significant
       effort to raise equity capital without success.

   4.  PROMPT CASH TENDER WITH LIMITED CONDITIONS. The Board considered the
       fact that the Merger Agreement provides for a prompt cash tender offer
       for all outstanding shares of Common Stock to be followed by the Merger
       at the same cash price per share, thereby enabling the Company's
       shareholders to obtain the benefits of the transactions at the earliest
       possible time. The Board considered that Parent's obligation to
       consummate the Offer and the Merger is subject to a limited number of
       conditions, with no financing condition.

   5.  STRENGTH OF PARENT. The Board considered, among other things, that
       Parent (i) could assume the liabilities to the Company's customers and
       other parties, (ii) has a favorable record of acquiring other companies,
       (iii) has strong financial statements, (iv) has a strong management
       team, and (v) has a business which is strategic to the Company.

   6.  ALTERNATIVE TRANSACTIONS. The Board considered that under the terms of
       the Merger Agreement, while the Company is prohibited from soliciting
       acquisition proposals from third parties, the Company may engage in
       discussions or negotiations with, and may furnish non-public information
       to, a third party that makes a non-solicited acquisition proposal if,
       among other things, the Board determines in good faith, after
       consultation with and based upon the advice of outside legal counsel,
       that such acquisition proposal would be reasonably likely to result in a
       transaction more favorable to the Company's stockholders from a
       financial point of view than that contemplated by the Merger Agreement,
       and that the person making such acquisition proposal is financially
       capable of consummating such proposal or the financing necessary to
       consummate such acquisition proposal is then committed or is reasonably
       capable of being obtained. The Board considered that the terms of the
       Merger Agreement permit the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement to
       enter into such a superior transaction involving the Company if the
       outstanding principal amount of the Amended Note is increased by
       $350,000 and the Company reimburses Parent for all reasonable
       out-of-pocket expenses and fees. In addition, the Board considered that
       certain stockholders are required by the Tender Agreement to tender
       their Shares and otherwise support the Offer and the Merger, including
       refraining from supporting alternative transactions for a period time
       after the Merger Agreement is terminated. The Board considered that
       these provisions of the Merger Agreement and the Tender Agreement could
       have the effect of deterring third parties who might be interested in
       exploring an acquisition of the Company. In this regard, the Board
       recognized that these provisions were insisted upon by Parent as a
       condition to entering into the Merger Agreement.


                                       6

   7.  POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. The Board considered the interests of
       certain Company executives and directors in the Offer and the Merger.

The foregoing includes the material factors considered by the Board. In view of
its many considerations, the Board did not find it practical to, and did not,
quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors
considered. In addition, individual members of the Board may have given
different weights to the various factors considered. After weighing all of
these considerations, the Board determined to approve the Merger Agreement and
recommend that holders of Shares tender their Shares in the Offer.


 INTENT TO OFFER

     To the best of the Company's knowledge, each executive officer, director
affiliate or subsidiary of the Company who owns shares of Common Stock intends
to tender all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held of record or
beneficially owned by such person to Purchaser in the Offer.


ITEM 5. PERSON/ASSETS, RETAINED, EMPLOYED, COMPENSATED OR USED

     Pursuant to a letter agreement dated April 1, 2002, the Company formally
retained Jane Capital Partners to act as its financial advisor in connection
with a Transaction, Financing or Strategic Transaction (as defined in the
engagement letter), including a possible sale of the Company. The Board
retained Jane Capital Partners based upon its qualifications, experience,
reputation, and familiarity with the Company's business. Jane Capital Partners
is an regionally recognized investment banking and advisory firm. As part of
its investment banking and financial advisory business, Jane Capital Partners
is continuously engaged in mergers and acquisitions, competitive biddings,
private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes.

     Pursuant to the letter agreement, the Company paid to Jane Capital Partners
non-refundable monthly retainer fees of $20,000 in the aggregate. In addition,
the Company agreed to pay to Jane Capital Partners an additional fee of $321,500
upon the consummation of a definitive agreement. The Company has also agreed to
reimburse Jane Capital Partners for certain expenses. In addition, the Company
has agreed to indemnify Jane Capital Partners against certain liabilities and
expenses.

     Except as described above, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its
behalf has employed, retained or compensated, or currently intends to employ,
retain or compensate, any person to make solicitations or recommendations to
the stockholders of the Company on its behalf with respect to the Offer.


ITEM 6. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY

     Except for John Wood, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who received
one half of his bi-weekly compensation in Shares (at the fair market value on
the date of such payment), no transactions in Shares have been affected during
the past sixty (60) days by the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, by
any executive officer, director, affiliate or subsidiary of the Company. On
August 1, 2002, the Board voted to discontinue paying one half of John Wood's
salary in Shares and began paying him a full cash salary. The following table
summarizes certain information regarding the Shares received by John Wood in the
last 60 days:

ITEM 8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

     The information contained in the Exhibits referred to in Item 9 below is
incorporated by reference herein.


 DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW.

     Under the DGCL, if the Purchaser acquires, pursuant to the Offer or
otherwise, at least 90% of the outstanding Shares, the Purchaser will be able
to effect the Merger after consummation of the Offer without a vote of the
Company's stockholders. However, if the Purchaser does not acquire at least 90%
of the Shares pursuant to the Offer or otherwise and a vote of the Company's
stockholders is required under Delaware law, a significantly longer period of
time will be required to effect the Merger.

     The Information Statement attached as Annex A to this Statement is being
furnished in connection with the possible designation by Parent, pursuant to
