Which led me to this one about the 2 apps for android that do this...
Shopping with Google Android: Which app is best? | The Download Blog - Download.com

Barcode Reader - Project:Possibility Wiki
Ok.. And here is what you want (I think) some code to do it in Objective-C for the iPhone. I have not looked at the code yet... but they are offering it.
Barcodes as URLs
That is based on this project from Japan...
