Scanning in the generic sense, did not mean to endorse any specific scanning solution.

Okay, for .99 this is a really cool app and any updates will be welcomed, but it is already very useful. Thanks Occipital.

Were you using the photo scan mode? We had to put in an update to make RedLaser compatible with the 3Gs, should be available soon.

If you were getting this on realtime scan mode, then were you perhaps trying books? We don’t support EAN (books/European codes) in realtime scan mode yet, but we will soon. Also, we admittedly don’t work well on curved barcodes, but we’ll be fixing this soon as well in an update.

I’m really surprised Apple hasn’t built any sort of barcode scanning stuff for the iPhone internally. If you look carefully at those little gadgets the salesmen use in the Apple stores, you’ll notice they run Windows CE.

What is the current state of the enforceability Neomedia patents on barcode scanning on mobiles looking up remote URLs? Have people figured a way around that for shopping comparison applications ( I am hoping they have)

It is impressive as the camera sucks on the original iphone 3g. They did a lot, but even then the program is far less than perfect.

Awesome. I hope someone grabs that SDK and makes an app that I can use at home, scanning stuff as I use it, and then producing a shopping list for me.

The music in the RedLaser video is Ratatat Beats #1.
Ratatat is a kickass band from NYC, I started listening to them when I used to live there. The song seemed to fit with the scanning part of the video, so we added it in =).

Nice.

How complicated directions can it figure out? The one in the demo was pretty straightforward, how about something that involves multiple turns, intersections, etc.?

This is a niche application at best. There aren’t many of us who are that dumb that they can’t follow a GPS map…

Good for grandpa maybe

They’re another bad-ass TechStars alumni company.

Oh, do shut up

1) The *vast* majority of iPhone apps are bootstrapped.

2) The $15k is because they were a TechStars company last year.

3) These guys have spent the last six months eating Ramen working on a number of cool iPhone apps, including Red Laser. These are the type of entrepreneurs most of us still celebrate. Young, smart, driven to create cool software and willing to make sacrifices to do so.

An apology wouldn’t be out of the question, me bucko.

Awesome that it’s available as an SDK, there should be some awesome apps coming out in the near future using this.

Someone over at Occipital has good taste in music. I want to know what’s playing in the background of both vids but Midomi can’t figure it out.
