Sandy, I demonstrated digit-eyes for a workshop at the Canadian hellen keller centre a couple of weeks ago and I have to say, it was pretty chronic. It found all the products we swiped although we couldn't get extended information for anything we identified. That may be to do with the package we bought. I didn't handle that so I don't know which one it is. We were using IPad 3 on a stand. We had to be careful about positioning. The lighting in the room was such that it caused glare in the camera lens and thus failure to recognize the image of the code. I've been seriously impressed with the support and development that's gone on in the last 4 or 5 months. There are now two hand-held barcode reader extensions tested for use with digit-eyes. The CHKC bought the kdc300 or whatever it is, I always get those letters at the beginning messed up. Anyhow, that is a rocking little unit for anyone who can't use the camera for various reasons.
I have red laser on my droid and my ITouch and it's OK. It's free which is nice. the interface is mostly accessible. It's fast enough at looking up codes. Unfortunately it's not very good at identifying barcodes for products outside the US and since most of the world population including myself doesn't actually live in the US, that's a bit of a liability. If we get a port of digit-eyes for android, I'd buy it the day it comes out. I think it's a very exciting product.
