ok so I got this to work, but I'm not sure the purpose of this program. I know it reads barcodes, but what does that help with. I thought it did like product price comparisons.
If you read through the root thread, you will see that it is a work in progress. It is mostly potential right now. It was not made for the purpose of competing with "smart shopper" on the G1. But, it does have some uses. You can get info on things you scan from the web depending on how you have it set up (although typing the upc code in the particular website will do the same). You can also use it to catalog items e.g. like a DVD collection. But mainly, it is a demonstration of a somewhat scanning capability.
