It seems like it is being done in Japan from one of the stories I posted earlier.

Here is the first story that I saw that talked briefly about Android and bar codes.

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


Which led me to searching... and reading... (I did find one decent size company that did some research on reading bar codes on cheap cameras that were all fuzzy and so on)

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... Open Source QR Code Library

Cheers,
Mike



If you come up with a cool app, be sure to send me a token to dl it!

Mike, you did a fabulous homework for barcode recognition. Thank you very much. You definitely give me a generous hand.

I am diving into what you offered. No matter whether it's applicable to proceed my idea, I will let you know my next action.
