For reference, it is definitelt focus, and not resolution, that matters. Our Android client, for instance, decodes from a 320x240 capture - that is 0.0768MP! But with focus, no problem.

Code reading worked OK on the current iPhone camera, for simple codes. The real problem was no real API for getting at what the camera sees. All you could do was ask the platform to have the user take and save a picture, which was very slow. That is why, as someone noted, all the iPhone readers looked alike. They were all invoking this API.

I assume the 3GS resolves both. Barcode scanning will work very well, for complex codes.
