[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w3t:
BarcodeZilla is a Zxing based barcode decoding application (just like barcorama that i've been using for a while) which is enabled for product recognition (mainly intended for EAN-8 / EAN-13 and UPC barcodes) that will display information the origin country of the product and allows to download product information (if available) and to edit and upload product and price information for your country as well using a WCF webservice.

Here's how it looks:

You don't need to be online to use the application because there is also a local database that will store every product you scan and the price information you might enter in the application.

Please do no upload crap informations to the server. if you play with it please enter accurate information regarding the products and prices as everything is pushed to the server when you click "upload".

For performance reasons you can manually enable or disable the formats that you want to decode, in case you have troubles decoding you can try the "enhanced mode" (suggested).

This application is using .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and SQL Compact 3.5 SP1.

Here are the files you might have to install:

Compact Framework 3.5

SQL Compact 3.5 SP1

I have also launched the online search engine which uses exactly the same mechanism, actually it doesn't allow to add / edit data just to search and display the known products:

News:

Published a "Lite" version which doesn't need SQL Compact 3.5

But with this version you have to be online to be able to recognize products (no persistance) and you cannot add / edit and upload new items.
