Thanks; I think I just hit a bad run of ones that only did QR or wouldn't save/send barcodes as text. I swear I downloaded at least three, and read the summaries for at least four others. What I'd really like is one that would make the phone pretend to be a bluetooth barcode scanner, or pass the barcodes over wifi. But I think that might be asking a bit too much. - Dave On Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 12:44 PM, Simon Spero <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > "Barcode Scanner"? > https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android&hl=en > > Simon > > On Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 12:32 PM, David Mayo <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > > As a sort of side question, does anyone know of a halfway-decent Android > > app for scanning UPC-style barcodes?
