Hi Joanne,
I have not noticed a significant improvement with OCR and barcode scanning
apps between my iPhone 4 with a 5 MP camera and my iPhone 4S with an 8 MP
campera and many other improvements in the camera/image processing. I think
how well or not well many of these apps work depends on whethe

More than that, there is no universal NFC standard yet applied, everyone has

On the issue of NFC, it is not widely used enough to justify including it and I
understand there are still some issues with the technology. I believe APple is
banking on the fact there is a wider use of barcodes which would be a very
smart move. You can do quite a lot with just barcodes and not

Well said, Allison. It seems that with every release of a new iPhone a

Keep in mind guys, that Apple doesn't really need to re-invent the wheel,
because they have, in a sense already invented the wheel. At this point,
they're just improving upon something that is already wildly popular and a
downright joy to use.
