The *little* could be the difference :) But with all these apps, the problem is the experience beyond this process. Mobile web, except on iphone is really a poor/bad experience. Taking a picture seems cool but then it's like WAP pages ! The only one I've seen so far that present a neat experience and utility is storexperience : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yfyAZvjfXM Building a shopping dedicated application. You know why to take a picture (detailed information on products + incentives).

It looks like you could use any generation camera phone with mms or email capability. But the key is not needing to have anything pre-loaded or downloaded onto the phone.

This is not new... Evolution Robotics (an Idealab company) has had image recognition software for a while now... and is using it on many handsets in Japan... http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1960905,00.asp This is software that come pre-installed on the phone and is built into the camera phone software... similar to the QRCode recognition software already prevalent in mobile phones in Japan...

I swear I'll never use this kind of paid services... Regards. This smells like Minority Report ;-)
