RedLaser scans in realtime straight from the camera feed – no photo necessary, and returns prices from Google product search and links to Amazon.  We’ve also released an SDK that developers can use to enable barcode scanning in their own applications. You can see it in action here.

We released RedLaser 2.0 on the App Store for $1.99 a few weeks ago, but that version is now out of date. Rather than sit around waiting for approval, we decided to make RedLaser Beta available on Cydia until the latest version is approved. We made it free to thank the Jailbreak community for the great experience we had when we launched ClearCam.

The version you can get on Cydia for free is almost 3 revisions more advanced than the one currently available on the App Store. We hope you enjoy it, and if you have a great idea for a barcode scanning application please check out our SDK!

For those of you that haven’t heard of ClearCam, it lets you take sharper, 4 megapixel photos with less noise on the iPhone.

In the latest version, we’ve added the following features and improvements:

  • GPS data is now enabled for all photos taken with ClearCam
  • *Premium Feature* Full Size Email for ClearCam photos (improved from the beta in 1.0.5).  When you email from the camera roll it resizes photos down to 800 by 600, which is lame.
  • Improved stability and memory management
  • Premium features re-enabled for all users for 15 days
GPS Added to Photos Email Full Size Photos
We’ve also lowered the price for the premium version from $9.99 to $5.99. <cheesy infomercial line>So buy it now before I get fired for practically giving it away!</cheesy infomercial line>
We’ve had almost 470,000 downloads since we’ve launched, and enough purchases to keep our tiny three person company going. We appreciate all of our ClearCam users and the feedback you’ve all given us. You can always reach us at customer_service@occipital.com.
And yes, ClearCam really does take sharper, 4 megapixel photos with less noise =).

BigBoss Edit: If this was crashing for you, it was probably fixed on 1.0.2. Congratulations to Occipital on this nice app. I think this is one of the most innovative apps on the iPhone. It finally takes the crappy camera and does something pretty ok with it. I plan to update my reasons to jailbreak with this. At Occipital, we've been working really hard on a better camera application for the iPhone, called ClearCam, and we finally launched it on BigBoss/Cydia! ClearCam takes 6 photos in 2.5 seconds, fuses them together using an algorithm called super resolution, and creates a sharper, 4 megapixel photo with less noise. There is also a QuickShot mode that takes 4 photos in under 2 seconds and saves the sharpest to the camera roll.]]>

And here is the same view, enhanced with ClearCam:

We spent a lot of time optimizing our code to make it run fast enough on the iPhone. A lot of our effort went into being able to align photos precisely with sub-pixel accuracy (required for super resolution), and to also do it fast.

You can check out more information at our site. There’s also a pretty good post about it here.

If you’ve been hoping for better photos from your iPhone, give ClearCam a try. If you really like it, feel free to buy it and support some hungry programmers =).
