I am amazed daily on how far behind America is in cell phone technology. My sister-in-law in Japan showed me a couple of years ago how she could find information about products just by taking a picture of it although I am not sure if she scanned a barcode or not. It Seems Neomedia Technologies has finally figured out that by enabling camera phone users to scan barcodes and linking that to a net based database with product information and price comparisons could make for a popular product.
I am all for this kind of empowerment but it just pisses me off that America the land of the free is so damn far behind when it comes to personal communications. [Scobleizer]
