That reader has some nice features

I had not seen these posted before

- Automatic barcode recognition using onboard phone camera using ZXing

(does that mean it will figure out what type of barcode it's looking at and decipher/link accordingly?)

- Shows CD, DVD, or book cover along with detailed reviews from Amazon.com

(I guess that's about par for the course)

- Searches over a dozen stores, both online and brick+mortar

(That's more than the last time I used Scanbuy's reader)

- Highlights brick+mortar stores that are nearby, with option to call the store or get directions

(Now that's nice, LBS eh?)

- Links to online storefronts to buy online from the phone

(Par for the course right?)

- Tracklisting for CDs, along with option to play sample tracks right on phone

(Not bad, especially if you're trying to make sure you get the right CD and might be a little confused about the title of the song you are remembering)

- For books, searches local libraries to see if they have a copy

(Merchants won't like that lol, but that's a great idea.)

So, was NeoReader even in the running or was NEOM exhausted after getting that guy to tweak it to work on a demo iPhone?
