Barcode Scan Coming to iPhone
July 18, 2010
From the search without search department:
Things keep moving forward where technology is concerned and that’s most apparent when it comes to everyone clamoring over themselves and each other to be the ones to come out with something new in that technology.
So Apple needs to stay on top and that’s why they are looking at NFC-enhanced apps that will let users, among other things, scan a barcode on an item to get the product reviews or check nutritional information on a menu before you order from a restaurant.
Here’s a new approach to findability that plays right into the health consciousness and new consumer awareness.
With this new kind of barcode scanning coming to iPhone, we’ll all be able to make the best choices and keep bad firms and industries on their toes. One of the goslings recalls reading that this idea has surfaced elsewhere. The legal eagles will sleuth out this potential intellectual overlap.
