Stripes 2.0 for Windows Phone

by jason 25. April 2011 16:35

The latest version of Stripes (2.0) brings the following changes:

  • Fixed crash bug with certain ISBN numbers and QR codes
  • Added option to use GPS and search for local stores carrying the product scanned
  • Added option to use regional search services for better, localized results
  • Added ability to rename history items and delete individual items from history (touch and hold on an item for a context menu)
  • Added support for two new languages (German and Spanish)
  • Added error reporting to aid in diagnosing support issues
  • Enhanced detection of barcodes in photos where the barcode is rotated by 90 degrees

The good news is that the next version of Windows Phone (“Mango” is the code name) will allow developers to embed the camera in their application. That means, Stripes will have “live scanning” capabilities! Microsoft says we can expect this update in the fall of 2011.

Really good news. Hopefully Mange comes as fast as possible - "live scanning" is a really nice feature.

About

Jason Williams is a .NET developer in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The name "Centrolutions" came out of a long search for a domain name. The goal was to create a name that conveyed an ideology of writing software centered (Centr--) on a solution (--olutions) for a particular problem. In other words, it was the only name in a long list that wasn't already registered on the internet.
