Given my history for “new ideas”, I fully expect that this service already exists…but if not I hereby release this idea to the wild so people with more resources can bring it to life. I want is a service where I can:
- Take a photo of a product’s bar code/UPC using my camera phone (for example, a deodorant stick that’s running low).
- SMS (or whatever) the photo to a service.
- The service will identify the product and add it to my list(s).
- I use another app on my mobile device to view/modify the list of previously sent items.
I would definitely use this to build shopping lists, and I see plenty of room for other features. Please tell me this is available!
this is pretty funny because not too long ago some friends and I were dreaming up the very same idea. I am convinced that people never have truly unique ideas, its just that some people are better equipped to carry them out.
