Re:iPhone slow and unreliable because of 2M camera (Score 1)

There's an iPhone app called Save Benjis that scrapes a bunch of sites for info (though apparently they got a C&D from Amazon, which sucks) and gives price comparisons. They say that barcode scanning was at the top of their feature wish list, but after working for a month on it, they gave up because of the focal length problem. They tried sharpening algorithms, etc. They were even trying to use OCR to read the numbers under the barcode, but it was apparently really slow. I told them about the Clarifi case, and I just ordered one for myself. (A long time ago I ordered the CC-49 lens for the Nokia 3650 after finding a tech demo app that could read barcodes, but it never went anywhere. I've been wanting to do this for a LONG time.)
