I wouldn't mind a QR code generating app. I also wouldn't mind a usable bar code scanner (of which "RedLazer" isn't). I use Omobe for a lot of text scanning stuff (such as canned goods, packages, etc. It has its down side in that its slow and can't cope with pill bottles. I have seen similar problems with goggles, tap-tap-see and WebViz. each has their strengths, but not one of them can do all the work needed.
