PSA barcode scanner for WP7 - with live tile notifications and live scanning

I've prepared a version of PSA with live scanning from video... the focusing could be tweeked a little bit, but it works very well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaD33QtOeqA
I've forgotten to switch the ui culture to english so the app in the video is german, but it is availiable in all marketplace supported languages too.
Please feel free to comment...
Update to version 2.0:
The new version (will hit the marketplace in a few days) supports live tile notifications for observed products and will notify you over the psa icon on your homescreen about new offers for watched products.

I've been trying this app since your first version as it was something I was looking forward to having. It has, since then made leaps and bounds and works very well. I've just updated to the latest version, but the video mode isn't there? When will you be updating the marketplace version?
Thanks, James.

Hello James,
the version with live scanning from the video will be ready tomorrow (I've included the possibility to activate the flashlight to scan under bad light conditions and have tweeked my barcode detection algorythm a little bit).
but... using the camera api is not "legal", so I dont't know if this version will pass the marketplace certification. If it will not I, will upload this version in the moment MS takes down the restictitions on the camera api.

This is a nice work with live scan.
Is it possible to include the QR barcode scan? If it does, it will be amazing.
Thanks

Just stumbled upon this app and had to buy it right away, makes a very nice change to see a working barcode scanner app for wp7 and one which also caters for the european market and not usa!
Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks for the nice app. Just bought it. Hope the live scanning features gets approved!

At the moment QR-codes are not planned to implement, becaus "Personal Shopping Assist" was designed to optimize your real world shopping experience. And EAN/UPC-barcodes are the world wide most used barcode types for product ids. And every new barcode type makes the scanning a little bit slower.
Are QR codes used for product id's? if yes can you make an example?
Thanks for your help

QR code scan is a must.

Looks nice, can't wait to use!

[APP] The Elements - Tablet

I am currently working on a version of my app, The Elements, specifically for the Adam and similar tablets. Currently this app is available in the Demo section or the Android Market. You should be able to transfer it to your tablet if the market is not available on your tablet. Because this will transfer straight into the finished product it does cost 2.99 (price libel to increase with introduction of Wolfram|Alpha API). For those of you who check it out, please send me your thoughts and let me know what you think I need to fix or add. Thanks.
Been doing a ton of work on this lately. Spending all my spare time on it basically. So far I've got the List section near finalization. It still has work, yes, but you can get a pretty good idea of what its going to look like when its done.
Again, please send me all comments. All are welcome.
Check it out here
Features
*All 118 Elements
*Information highlights (click on things like Atomic Weight to see what this is)
*Swipe navigation through elements
*Images of or relating to all elements
*Elements information from Wikipedia and Wolfram|Alpha
*List View is now functioning.
*Classic View is now functioning.
*Calculations, more of which if I can find I will add
*Anions and Cations
*Physical Constants
and more to come as I get it added.
Please Check Back Every Day Or So For Updates. As I Make Progress I Will Be Uploading New Images And Information And Will Be Looking For Prompt Feedback.
Thanks For The Support

this is really cool. Will give it a try.

Just downloaded. I'll give it a try.

It looks cool, but the Market won't let me install it on either my Droid running a Gingerbread ROM or my NI Adam running Beast.

Until fragments are added to everything below Honeycomb, only Honeycomb devices will be able to run it. Notion Ink is working on getting Honeycomb source this week so hopefully we'll be able to run it on our Adam's soon. Sorry about that.
Sent from my Eris ADR6200 using XDA App

So it just dawned on me earlier that I haven't been optimizing screen size to work well on devices bigger than my Adam. SORRY!!! I'm working on fixing this right now and hope to have it resolved soon. Hope it hasn't been to much of a problem for anyone.

looks nice, but why aren't you using http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AccountManager.html ?
Asking for login/pass with internet permissions will be suspicious to many users, especially when it's unnecessary for what you're doing.

Very good idea, it will be included in the next version.

Ya I was just about to say that lol

Looks Great
So wanted to purchase this app...please implement user/password feature as stated above. Then I will buy it...kinda creepy as is having to input my info atm

Looks nice, though as ZanshinG1 pointed out, Account Manager would be a much better way of using the Google account.

Better than Newsr? How does it compare?

I quite like the look of this, but I'm really loathe to buy a Reader app when it's only a matter of time until Google themselves release one that's optimized for tablets. I haven't bought Newsr for the same reason.
If you release an ad supported version then I'd jump all over it.

We just released version 1.1 with integrated credentials support - enjoy!
Again, thanks for the input

Maybe we will release an ad version. But we would rather not bloat the interface with ads. I dont think google will release a good reader app for tablets, the browser one is no good and the one for phones isnt really great either in my opinion. Thats why we thought of doing one that looks the way we want for our selves..

How do things get marked as read? When you scroll down or? That's crucial for me. And when you mark them as read do they go away?

As it works now, the news wont get marked as read. When you sync it purges the news and downloads new news. So you can decide, tell us how you want it and we will make it work like that.

Newsr is a small investment and very good. Actively developed. Even if Google releases its own Reader app that you prefer, you will have gotten your money's worth. What I really want is a scrollable Reader widget which allows me to select which feed or label I want in the widget.
I like the look of this Honey Reader. When it sorts out the login Account Manager issue, I'll give it a whirl. Price is fair, too. I think people forget they can still do 15 minute try and return for no cost if they want. It's important that we support a development community for Droid if we want it to become as robust as Apple's.
Edit: just realized the account manager issue is resolved. Off to try this now.

png6: Great looking app, especially after you've taken care of the login issue. If you create a free ad-sponsored version, I will write about it on the XDA main page.
(Just toss me a PM if you decide to do that, please.)

Tried it. Great potential. 100 max items is not usable for me. I have wayyyyy too many labels.

this app contains "adult content" so the microsoft will not allowed..

nice ! great app works on dft 7714 on my hd7 ... there isnt a search option but none the less a great app . btw hot images is in the market place and has adult content.

Honestly, by no means to offend you, but I think this app isn't really appropriate to be distributed here, as it contains hardcore porn images and not all users around here are 18 years old.

+1 on the HD7. App non responsive, seems to hang on page load.
Shame as the app looks very promising, will check back for an updated release.

Have tried the app on 7392, 7004, 7712 and 7720 (whilst upgrading yesterday). Same issue with sporadic load on all O/S versions, seems to be hit and miss on each page because if you reload enough it will eventually work.
