Do you have any comparisons between this app and Digit Eyes? As I said in a previous post, I mostly use Digit Eyes because it lets me scan for barcodes without needing to align anything. Does Red Laser now allow one to do that as well? If so, it sounds like it would be a very useful app, since it gives extra information instead of only the product name.
