Default Bar code Scanner App
I was just watching the T-Mo commercial, when the guy takes a picture of the riding lawn mower bar code, and the phone searches for lower prices and what not.

Is there an app available for the blackberry? This would be a great app!

Yea,its an excellent app! My friend installed it on her Android G1 and she's lovin it. It just uses your camera to scan the bar code to the web then will tell you the closest retailers via GPS through Google Maps. I really hope they add that app to our BlackBerry community.

Sorry for the additional post but I forgot to add that in addition to it telling you the closest retailer,it also lists their prices for the scanned item also.

I haven't seen the commercial but it sounds similar to Scanbuy.

I guess in Japan and some other countries this is a lot more common where you snap a photo of the bar code and the reader application (which you install on your phone) will interpret it as text, or a link or something else.

Some phones are supported but not sure about Blackberry.

That's not the same type of app, that's for user created scan codes, much like ...BeeTagg News - QR-Code, BeeTagg, Datamatrix
