Since it is only too easy to take pictures that are poorly illuminated, or in poor focus, or have motion blur, there's little guarantee that the first photo sent will do the job -- and if the user has to take the photo under very precise conditions, that makes it inconvenient and annoying by itself.<BR/><BR/>This introduces considerable delay and unreliability into any such application, making it a far less convenient application than it can be if it's going to get wide adoption. <BR/><BR/>The only way to get ease-of-use is to do the decoding on the client phone itself. That's how all the current bar code reading phones in Asia work, and there's a reason for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
