Don, I've done some more research into this. The app is $1.99 yep, two bucks. The output is all accessible, but actually getting it to scan a barcode is a bitch. It is mono-directional so you have to scan the barcode in the correct orientation, and you kind of have to get the barcode centered

bill, You're correct, except that RFID setups have to be carefully taylored to specific situations, re: distances from reader and between lables etc. get the tags too close together and it can either get confussed or read both so you can't tell which is which. Looks like RNIB appropriately made it

Jom, good research, i missed that. It'd be interesting to see how close two lables can be together without interfeering with each other. Our look at RFId shows this can be a real problem, but they probably have the reader set to very short range. thanks Tom
