Hi Mei, I am sorry if this is confusing. There are two versions of Digit-Eyes; free and paid. And you can buy partial functionality (like just UPC scanning or just recording) - If you are buying the paid one, it should perform like any other purchasable app. - The free one just has

Yes, Digit-Eyes will do this on the new iPad. It won't work on the iPad 2 because it does not have an autofocus camera. N On Wednesday, September 26, 2012 10:14:26 AM UTC-5, Scott Berry wrote: > > hey does anyone know if there is an app for the Ipad that reads barcodes > and gives instructions

Hi WIlliam, I'm sorry this was a problem. I'll take a look at it this afternoon and in the interim, I've sent the password to your email address. Am I correct in understanding you were trying to retrieve it using your iPhone? Or were you using a laptop / desktop browser? N On Thursday, Ju

We’ve been using our iPod Touch units (yes, the ones that have the camera) in the lab and we are very impressed with the results. In a nutshell, here is what we’ve found about the new iPod Touch: 1. The case on the iPod Touch 4g is more like the one of the iPhone 3 than the four. However the
