I downloaded it and it works great so far. Going to use it to buy my text books this fall. I enter the UPC since my bold has a crappy non auto focus camera, but it's quick and pretty awesome when I'm buying stuff at best buy and such and want to compare it to online! ;) I heard there was a new release for edocrab today on twitter with new features.

Edocrab is for the purpose of scanning traditional UPC barcodes - similar to the popular ShopSavvy app for Android. NeoReader is a 2D barcode reader like ScanLife.

I'll wait till they fix it. I thought Neo Reader only worked for the new bar codes? The Amazon App doesn't work that great. It doesn't scan bar codes, but you can take pics with it to save and it will find something similar to what you want. Not entirely the same as Edocrab or Neo Reader.

The site's video of a woman scanning a universal barcode at a bus stop to get all the bus schedule info on her phone is a pretty cool concept, but I've never seen those at any bus stop I've seen. I tried to install on my 8900, but though recognized as an 8900 it is not supported. It let me see what BB models are supported, and the Bold and 83XX as well as Pearl and Storm. I'm trying the Bold (9000) version on my 8900 to see how that works. If you phone is NOT supported, their mobile site lets you enter the barcode manually, which is really nice. Mobile site is: get.neoreader.com. The UI is more clumsy then edocrab, but worth investigation. Thanks for the suggestion of NeoReader.

My previous attempt was on a water bottle, which is rounded, so maybe that didn't help. This time it was of a box of office pens. It was recognized, BUT returned no search results. Need to take a trip to Best Buy to look at LED TVs :) Ok I did finally get it to work. My previous attempt was on a water bottle, which is rounded, so maybe that didn’t help.

Each time it said it wasn't good enough and let me compare the picture I took with the "perfectly ideal" (non-camera-phone looking) example they have. Too sensitive man!
