And yet, still no barcode READERS for phones with cameras? There are a lot that do QRCode and 2D barcodes, but still none that read standard zebra-stripe line codes (none that I'm aware of). MS AURA was one, but apparently that one used Microsoft's own servers to decode the barcode, which means it's useless now.

That sounds like it is something worth making then. Though one that that I hate is that the camera on Windows Mobile Phones is only accessible through a dialog (at least when using .Net on a Windows Mobile phone). While the reasoning is good (to prevent stealth programs from taking pictures ) it does kinda interfere with the potential to do other things with the camera without the break in continuity caused by your application hiding while the camera capture dialog displays.
