Hi all

Does anyone know if the camera on the Vega is able to read barcodes, I know my Samsung Galey S can, but ive tried the same software and it doesnt seem to be able to read the barcodes, is the vega camera different?

Has anyone managed to get this sort of idea working do we know?

many thanks to anyone who replys

The resolution on the built in camera is too low to read barcodes, however the camera is just a usb device, so it could potentially be upgraded or you could more than likely use an external usb webcam if you're after a static setup. I've considered doing this for a kitchen PC, so I could take advantage of the Ocado/Tesco apps

I managed to get Barcode Scanner App on mine to work, but only when barcode is next to very bright light source and even then it takes a couple of goes!
