All this info in objects would certainly make life easier for the
odd droid walking around town. "Ahh, so that is the difference between
an apple and a tennis ball".
Personally, I can't really imagine wanting to visit the makers "home
page" unless I need more technical information about the object or I
just don't know how to configure my phone not to follow some damn url.
I'd rather hit some price/location database and just get immediate info
on my screen about whether or not this was a good price for the
particular product and perhaps hit a recent magazine review, perhaps,
I'm buying a book, I'd have my phone configured so that scanning a book
would bring me to the Amazon review page. That's mostly what I do
now manually anyway.
