the scanner basicly uses the phones camera to scan a barcode. there are two types (maybe 3) of barcode, the one lekky shoes at the start of this thread, the other like you would get on a cereal box.

depending on the app you get will depend on the results given to you. Shopsavvy seems to be be the most popular and works on some products but not all. when it does work it should give you a list of where the cheapest places are to buy that product and even gives you internet prices. bit of a gimmick really but if you like that sort of thing then its defo for you.

hope this helps
