Will we be able to add items with the iPhone app now that the 3GS has video?
I don't see it on here, maybe it was in a blog comment but a while ago you guys said that the reason you couldn't get the barcode feature to work on an iPhone for adding apps to your library was that the iPhone camera lacked video so you couldn't get a nice sharp frame the way you could from an iSight camera.
Now that we have video on the 3GS is there any chance we'll be able to get an add feature for the iPhone app? Taking my iPhone to my bookshelves would be much easier then bringing my books to my laptop!

Inappropriate?Sounds like a neat idea but due to Amazon's licensing, the iPhone app is currently rather dead. It all depends on Amazon at this point.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?The thing we still need to make a barcode is closed off-- although the 3GS has a video recorder, they still don't give developers access to the streaming frames, which is what we need. It's something the iPhone is *able* to do, it's just nothing Apple would let us release.

Inappropriate?Interesting and disappointing that you still can't get access to it, what do you mean by not getting "streaming frames," Do apps just get a button to start recording and the iPhone does the work until you click stop and then it sends a movie back to the app?

Inappropriate?Well,
we don't use the actual video *recording* to scan barcodes. We look at all the frames as they show up on screen (I'm not sure how many frames-per-second the iPhone shows), and there's special software that decides which one of the frames is best fit to scan a barcode.
