First let me say that me and my iPhone are inseparable, I can easily be pigeonholed as your typical Apple Fanboy.

So how does it work? well, the app opens the iPhone camera, then point it in the direction of a barcode and hey presto the app comes back with information on that product.

I just bought one of the new Flip Video Camcorders, largely due to the fact that Eddison-Media’s workforce will be expanding by one small arrival sometime in January! I’ve only used the camera once so far but I absolutely love it. It’s the perfect size to slip into a jacket pocket and the video quality is amazing for such a small camera.
