* [http://www.skannerz.com Skannerz] Have you perhaps seen adverts for this toy called "Skannerz". The basic idea is to scan [[barcode]]s from [[product]]s that translate to some kind of monsters and then you connect your toys to each other and fight with the monsters ... or something. It'd be interesting to know what these gadgets cost. Sold in Walmart, K-mart and some other stores. | * [http://www.skannerz.com Skannerz] Have you perhaps seen adverts for this toy called "Skannerz".

* Search for "Translator Pen" on Google turned up the following http://www.tvdate.com/translator/qt/ for about 168$/piece. I've seen these advertised on TV-shopping channel quite sometime ago but somehow failed to mention these. Contains Scanner, OCR, Display, Memory, Processor, Data and Some UI and of these the only thing not in [[Mobile Phone]]s at the moment is the Scanner. | |||
:I wonder how much it would cost to put a small scanner on a cell phone. It'd be really useful for inputting phone numbers, addresses straight from the phone book or some newspaper. Or making notes from just released [[quaterly report]]s. Or reading some [[GTIN]] code :) | |||
