ScanLife Updates Barcode Mobile App, Now Capable Of Reading All Barcode Formats, Including UPC : Mobile Marketing Watch – The Pulse Of The Mobile Marketing Community

ScanLife can take the information found in UPC and EAN barcodes to provide a list of price 

comparisons and consumer reviews from multiple online retailers like Amazon.  More retailers and features will be added to the application like local search results as well.

“Mobile barcode scanning has quickly become a popular activity among Smartphone users, and there are now a wide variety of apps that can each scan different barcode formats,” said Jonathan Bulkeley, Chief Executive Officer of Scanbuy.  ”Our ScanLife app will now allow someone to scan virtually any barcode they see to instantly get more information, creating an all-in-one barcode reader which is ideal for our users and our customers.”

Unlikely they can get consumer reviews from Amazon as Amazon explicitly forbids user of their API to deliver their content to mobile phones.
