Why is it practical to have a bar code scanner built into a PDA or Smart phone? What average grocery store employ who needs to check up on their lucky charms prices uses their phone/bar code scanner? Does it also have all the information for every product that has a bar code on it in the world? Optical sensing touch screens require a camera, which if screwed up, will obviously screw your device. What's the problem with the iPhone's not bar code scanning touch screen; which just so happens to be near invincible as well as innovative? If you new anything about what a optical sensing touch screen was you wouldn't be judging on the ability to scan 3 inch documents and barcodes. Ya, it’s pretty cool, but how is it better?

If Nokia don't buy this tech, neither do I.
