Ian Walls > Android has Barcode Scanner, which can do both scan to text, as well as send > to custom URL (if you've got a RESTful kinda setup you want to GET to). I'd second that (it's the ZXing one) but note that 1D barcodes need a phone with a decent autofocus camera, else only QR and Data Matrix codes can be scanned. Personally, I also find it needs good light and good contrast - barcodes on off-white newspapers are very difficult to scan. There's a different scanner system in pic2shop which copes better with slow/fixed focus and low-res cameras, but I've not seen it available without the auto-search-for-products bit and I don't think it's FOSS.
