Enkin Video, Android App

"Enkin" introduces a new handheld navigation concept. It displays location-based content in a unique way that bridges the gap between reality and classic map-like representations. It combines GPS, orientation sensors, 3D graphics, live video, several web services, and a novel user interface into an intuitive and light navigation system for mobile devices.

Android Scan

New Android App

Android Developer Challenge submission by Jeffrey Sharkey

Android Scan is one of the 50 winners of the Android Developer Challenge, more details to be released on Monday. I'll also be at Google I/O later this month.

Scan is an Android application that finds pricing and metadata for anything with a barcode. Here are some key features that make Scan stand out:

• Automatic barcode recognition using onboard phone camera using ZXing library
• Shows CD, DVD, or book cover along with detailed reviews from Amazon.com
• Searches over a dozen stores, both online and brick+mortar
  • Highlights brick+mortar stores that are nearby, with option to call the store or get directions
  • Links to online storefronts to buy online from the phone
• Tracklisting for CDs, along with option to play sample tracks right on phone
• For books, searches local libraries to see if they have a copy

Watch the quick 3-minute video that shows the power of Scan in action with real barcodes:
