RedLaser app for iPhone 4

<snip> RedLaser - for finding the best price on just about anything while at a store and then giving you the ability to haggle with the sales guy when you SHOW him how much you can pay for his product somewhere else - used this to buy a printer, computer and TV so far - saved a bundle! <snip>
I tried this a few times (new iPhone 4). I guess I'll have to play with it some more. Maybe I'm missing something in setting the preferences.

Some things it will identify but it brings up totally unrelated things as well. I was sitting here playing and scanned a pack of cigarettes. It identified the cigarettes but then the scan showed for a book of some sort.

Re: RedLaser app for iPhone 4

I have an iPhone 4 that is jailbroken. My favorite apps are:

Pandora
Navigon (Love the navi on the phone)
Twitbird
FB
Sportacular
Foursquare
SlingPlayer

I think for everyone who has an iPhone, it is so nice to have it jailbroken as you can customize to the way you like (themes, sound, etc).

"Angry Birds" is probably one of the better games available. And they are good about updating and adding levels.

I got an I-Pod Touch yesterday and will be fiddling with it this weekend. These are the things I'm interested in - if anyone can recommend any decent apps around these themes (perferably free but I'm willing to pay for real stand-out stuff) I'd really appreciate it:

Music (most genres, especially rock, metal, blues & pop), guitar, piano, film, television, entertainment in general, literature, writing, sport, quizzes, running, anything relating to horror, sci-fi and comedy, brain-teasing puzzles, anything else that is pretty cool and unique.

Thanks in advance!

While, I'm 50+ years myself, I'm very comfortable with technology and apps. Just got back from a large tech conference and we need to be prepared to adapt to a whole new generation of folks just entering the workforce. With over 19,000 attendees at this conference, they were twittering, facebooking, blogging, etc. I only met once person in 6 days of being there that didn't have a smartphone. Most people had smartphones, ipads, and laptops going during every session. Currently, 50% of all internet access is mobile. By 2014, the number of mobile smartphone devices will surpass the desktop. The most widely used app on a mobile device is a map, second only to email. Be ready for it, the pace of innovation is accelerating at a rapid pace. Big companies are throwing lot's of money into mobile. Adobe System's CEO states "Think mobile first"

On another point, ask yourself the following technology trends questions:

"Do I know what a QR code is?"
"What is gamification?"
"What is a hashtag?"
"What is meant by hyper-local SERP?"

All apply in some way to mobile devices.

Good luck. If you know all 4 off the top of your head, you're further along than most.

I don't know any of these. My wife has an iPad, I just got an iPhone. Both my daughter and her husband are techies. And so, we're relying on them to get us going. We tech tag along for the ride for a short while..:D

Unfortunately, we use technology as an excuse not to plan things in advance. It is not that I am afraid of technology, but when it comes to my phone, that is all I want.... a phone. Two requirements... it can call out, and it can receive calls. The most use my cell ever got was when the wife was in the hospital, and I needed to keep family updated on her condition. Other than that, it gets used maybe once a week. If I EVER get so busy, I absolutely NEED to get to the internet, or use some other special app, then I need to scale back.
