What it is
Scanazon 1.3 (09/13/10)
Developed by PhilChuang.com

No guarantees, can't be held liable, use at your own risk, etc.
What it does
Scanazon helps you shop. Ever see an item on the shelf that looks interesting, but you wonder
A) if you can find it cheaper online?
B) if it's any good?
That's where Scanazon comes in. Using Scanazon, you can scan a product's UPC or EAN barcode, and see its Amazon.com price and ratings.
Scanazon will also show you if the price of an item has changed since it was last updated.
How It Works
Scanazon uses a converted version of the java library Zxing to detect barcodes. It then uses Amazon's Product Advertising API in order to retrieve product information.
Requirements
- Windows Mobile 5 or greater
- .NET CF 3.5 or greater
- Unlimited Data plan (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
