qipit.com does ocr from pics, but the 2mp cameras are worse that the apache's 1.3mp with focus.

They also demonstrated the Redfly. Wow, pretty cool gadget, but wayyyyyy too expensive for what it does. Sorry Redfly folks. http://www.celiocorp.com/

The HTC Diamond is REALLY nice. There was an app on there, I thought was called "World touch mobile" tho I may have written it down wrong. Basically you photographed a business card, used the app and it OCR'ed the data and made a contact out of it. Anyone seen this? (or ripped it for the touch?) lol

Since I am here, anyone looking for any interesting info? lol

Hrm, haven't phones done this for years? I know I saw the Samsung A800 do it, like 5 years ago...
