this one is pretty interesting.. probably would take some getting used to

It would be nice to have an interactive demo, because I think it would take a lot of getting used to. I guess on a phone you don't have to compete quite as much against touch-typing for the advertised "efficiency."

Andriod Scan is pretty amazing.

Take a picture of a bar code, it scans it and finds you the best prices online instantly. I could go to a mall with my phone, scan the crap I like...then just buy it all online and potentially save lots of money. Sounds like a game changer to me.

I've read about similar services here in Europe before. But how they intend to implement it is interesting.

Great idea, but implementation could be smoother. Definitely something to look forward to :)

I'm surprised Enkin (http://www.enkin.net/) isn't on the list.

So was I. Maybe they're one of the four groups who declined being listed?
