Redlaser app for iPhone

Got this today, very impressive!

Uses OCR to read product barcodes then searches amazon and google for the best prices. Returns results in a few seconds with links, option to email search results etc.

Worth a look!

Can I get it to work? Can I feck.

Had it a few days now. Annoying.

[ben_h100]

Have you got the latest iPhone firmware? What kind of problems are you getting and what are you scanning? 100% hit rate so far as reading the barcode goes, works best with electonics, books, games related stuff you can find online.

[AB]

Yeah, latest firmwire but the camera just seems to not want to scan the barcode which is frustrating.

This looks awesome but I can't run it on my phone as I'm not on 3.1 yet (no jailbreak). Great idea though.

I've never tried this before but know that i'm likley to need it later today.

Its bloody brilliant.

Driving the missus mad though as I wander around the house scanning everything!
