Nokia's N93 supposedly includes a barcode reader according to blog posts (you pointed this out B4) and described in the associated manual and related N93 screen shots. Funny that this (Nokia) capability is not shown when you look up detailed N93 specs. Could this be under wraps until some sort of launch?? If there is a barcode reader on the N93, whose is it? My guess is it's Lavasphere-based (Gavitec) which can read 1D and 2D barcodes according to Lavasphere promo info on Gavitec's web site.

What I want is a universal barcode reader/decoder...that will take me to at least some sort of "default" information (or let me bookmark it for later use) while I wait for creative marketers to give me more reasons to interact with them when out and about in the physical world. Comparison shopping would also be a good initial use...something that I'm used to doing on the Internet using my pc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191890.post-1152146372006177182006-07-05T20:39:00.000-04:002006-07-05T20:39:00.000-04:00Scott,This is a very good write up and informative...Scott,<BR/><BR/>This is a very good write up and informative piece regarding physical world connections and what a mobile Internet company should look like.
