The android app, CompareAnywhere, will use your phone's camera to read a barcode on any item you may find in a store, then does a price comparison on other retail stores or online stores.
Is there any WM6.1 apps out there that does this too?
hmmm...
i was wondering the same thing after i saw the commercial, and did some research on the dream. that would be a cool app for my vogue. im going to do some more research to see if we can make it happen.
i have someting like that for the vouge
what exactly is it that u have? wat does it allow u to do?
do a search for iNigma reader
Never mind I attached it for you...
that app doesn't do anything but download other programs if they have a barcode.... unless I'm doing something wrong
Could this be what you are looking for?

This only scans 2D bar codes (sema codes). The bar code on products are all 1D.
Thanks anyway...
this would be a great app and i've been looking for something like it too. found one close, but you have to enter upc manually. google can already do that. good luck!
I might be interested in writing an application like this for Java micro edition. I thought about doing something like this for Android but was discouraged when I found that there was already someone doing it.
If I wrote this, I would develop it in such a way that it could be run on any J2ME compliant device.
Who'd be interested if it were offered free of cost?
Who'd be interested if it were not free?

Not quite... scanlife appears to only support 2D codes (semacode, EZcode, etc), and it just simply takes you to the web site that this code contains (provided that it is indeed a web site).
What I'm looking for is a scanner for 1D barcodes, encoded in UPC-A (vertical lines with numbers at the bottom).
I want something that takes these UPC barcodes and have the program automatically search Amazon or other online retailers for price comparisons. So if I go to a local Best Buy and see a router on sale, I can simply scan the barcode at the back, and see if there's another online retailer that have it for cheaper.
So far, I only see Android with this capability (they have 2 apps that does this actually).
Thanks for keeping an eye out though.
1D Barcode Lookup
I have this running on my Touch Pro and it's been pretty accurate with the barcodes of the things on my desk (kleenex box, empty coffee can). I haven't tried it "in the field" yet.

TouchPro has 3.2 megapixel AF
Vogue has a 2.0MP (no info on AF, but I think it is fixed focus...)
I could not get barcodes recognized with barcorama, however I only tried with one UPC sticker and not under the best light conditions.
If anyone else gets it work, let us know
Hey xDarKnighTx,
Microsoft worked on that concept a while ago and stopped further development.
Just google "AURA" with the words barcode.
I don't know much more about it, although some discussions relating to AURA seem promising.
Cheers
I'm extremely interested free or not!

I started a thread a few months ago concerning a proprietary video player that Sony used for their Location Free Player devices. Well...
The software code has now been moved to open source status and is free for full linux development. I'm hoping I can convince one of you savvy developers to whip up the player so it can run on either Android or a full linux OS (I use Ubuntu). I'm sure it's a gold mine for tons of other video streaming applications that could potentially run on our devices.
The link to the open source code can be found here along with other Sony open projects.
http://products.sel.sony.com/opensource/
Location Free TV is the program I'm specifically talking about. I believe the current version is LFA-PC30. If you would like to read more on this device/player you can check the wiki at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LocationFree_Player
Let me know if anyone has any questions, I very eager to see if this is possible. If I could stream video from my Location Free Player Base I to either my android device or Ubuntu Netbook I would be very very pleased. If a dev is serious I would be more than happy to have them test on my base station. PM or email me if you're interested!
Also, please move to the correct thread if this is in the incorrect area.
agreed!
I too would love to see more on this, my locationfree box could get so much more use.
So a sony base unit (hardware) is needed to try this right
If someone is working on this, and needs a connection to a base station to test ( I have the last version that came out LF-V30 ) message me and I'll send you the adress to connect to my station and the password
Would
Love to see this on Android. This would give new life to my Location Free Box. If not then I may have to move to Sling Player although I would like to stay with Sony.

Hello, Bumping the thread once more, there are plenty of Location free devices out there for people to purchase an paid app from the android store.
Please compile an app from the source code link that OP provided. I am looking forward to it.

I received an onlive microconsole free from PAX solely for the reason of hacking (as did about 5000 others). My primary goal is to be able to put Google TV on it as it has very similar specs to some existing set top boxes. (Nixeus fusion xs, which also has sources available)
The source code for the consoles OS can be found here
http://opensource.onlive.com/
I poked around inside the zips and certainly contains all the drivers for generic linux. The interesting thing is they included the SoCs build folder giving instructions for android.
The kicker is, I have no idea how to build an OS from source and modify it nor do I know about getting it on to the machine. I took it apart and it has a block of 12 pins, which I presume are for nand reading and writing. I've glitched /jtagged a few 360s so I am familiar with the process of nand modifications, I just have no clue how to find out which pins to use on this board. The microconsole is keyboard and mouse compatible but I have not found a way to enter a terminal or bootloader.
The easiest thing to do is look for serial ports because with a serial connection you can most of the flash fw and stuff...
would help if you'd post some specs and pics

Anything New man i really wanna find a use for this microconsole i dont like throwing Tech away
Has any more progress been made on this? I loved the OL service in it's prime and it'd be a shame to throw the microconsole away if there's any legitimate use for it.
I'm still digging to the code to verify what I can do with it but with 3 uart adapters not arriving I'm kind of at an impasse. I'm not done yet though I even bought an extra one off of ebay for $17 as an extra hardware in case I fry 1
+1 in hoping someone manages to get some other software running on it. would love to repurpose it as a Steam/shield streaming box
fingers crossed.
not enough people interested i guess, i mean it's no more than a thin client if im correct. either way if kodi + steamos could be installed great
So interseted in OnLive
keep the good work
i am also digging into the codes and have experience in GL low-level programming and high level
would be happy to share

A place to discuss and attempt to implement Android app compatibility for Sailfish OS.
Now I'm not too knowledgeable about this kind of stuff, I'll need to do more research before I'll be able to help in any meaningful way.
vgrade said:
From a community standpoint I'd much prefer an open solution.
The way the Sailfish stack is designed it leads itself more to an open solution than previous attempts. It uses the android driver libs from original /system , runs an init just as in real android. For example surface flinger would run if you enabled it from init.rc. We can run the original dalvik. So all (and I know its a significant task) that is required is some plumbing to allow switching of surface flinger output to hwcomposer instead of lipstick (the sailfish compositor) and switching touch.
I'd invite anyone interested to join us at sailfishos-porters to discuss further

UPDATE 1:
I have been working on this lately, and can "boot" into CM11 and get to the setup screen, but the touchscreen, power button and potentially everything else doesn't work as it's still using the sailfish drivers. The only command needed to boot into CM11 is just starting surfaceflinger via "./surfaceflinger" after navigating to /system/bin/ . I did however modify the init.rc file to turn on the android specific services. which I've linked below.
UPDATE 2: using ssh via USB connection breaks when "booting" into CM but using ssh over WiFi does not.
Modified init.rc file
UPDATE 3: Quicksilver is a chromium client for sailfish, and if you build it with NaCl enabled (its currently disabled) then ARChon MAY work. The link to the git repo is below.

UPDATE 4: It's getting close now. Chroot-ing into the android emulator image while also using it's renderer is almost seeing the light of day and we need your help. All info found in this thread.

Interesting, I thought what would be required, is something akin to icedrobot i.e. a complete (openJDK compliant) replacement of dalvik.
Are you saying that something much simpler would be possible (& hence much less work), & would still work just as well?

Nice thread. I have not much knowledge about such things here but just to say it BlackBerry OS 10 has also support for Android apps and maybe someone could get done kind of inspiration off their implementation of Android. Just a thought of mine maybe it's completely nonsense what I said but maybe not so.

I take it Archon works as it works through Chrome, which has similar stuff to Chrome OS.

installing chromuim to Sailfish os is no trivial task.
I was just stating theoretically speaking. I wasn't suggesting someone should do that, I understand that its not a trivial task. I guess we should wait till they release all the necessary files then, unless they don't plan to then we're back to square one.
I thought I would try and see what happens if I pause lipstick (kill -STOP 950) , and start surfaceflinger (./system/bin/surfaceflinger), and see what happens, turns out it shows that "static-y" image like when you're booting into sailfish.but since sailfish doesn't use surfaceflinger then nothing happens it just stays with that same screen. stop surfaceflinger, and then run (kill -CONT 950), and then start interacting with the screen again, everything goes back to normal.
If I can find out the bare minimum needed to install and run an apk, it could work, but probably won't.
If someone knows what services are needed in order to either boot into android, or to get an app to run, please say so.
EDIT: I can now get to the setup screen of cyanogenmod, but that is it, touchscreen doesn't work and ssh connection breaks. But its recognised as an unauthorised device in adb.

Checking the source code documentation still reads "A small set of shared objects can be built which are part of ARC currently. A fully running system cannot currently be built." They could provide an update and release the shared objects at Google I/O later this year but I wouldn't hold my breath.
