Sprint Announes Scanning App for Feature Phones
Walled garden approach
Which would you rather have?
1) You scan a barcode on a book and your phone pulls up whatever the creator wants you to see - ads, etc.
2) You scan a barcode on a book and it pulls up whatever information you want about it - prices in other stores, reviews, whether its at your local library, etc.
Choice #2 is obviously more consumer-friendly.
Am I reading this wrong, or did Sprint just go with Choice #1?
The "we'll tell you want you want and you'll like it" approach is going the way of the dinosaur - or at least it should.

It's a free app. Of course they will force adverts down your throat. I'm sure there will be a paid application that does what you want it to do, if it's not out already. For the low low price of $10 a month or something. đ

I am still holding out for the app. that when you scan the bar code of a product it will tell you if and where you can find it cheaper locally.
