Might be cool for comparison shopping in the real world also 
possibly used with location information. Ie, scan a new leather
jacket that you like in a store, you could get info back on 
suggested retail price in your currency (suppose you were abroad)
and if perhaps two doors away there was another store with the
same jacket for cheaper and so on...
