Well AWS is Amazon Web Services, which will allow you to see the product reviews for products that they offer.

Basically I am (slowly) creating an app with which you can scan a barcode, then look it up (on various providers) and obtain, amongst other things, the price and reviews (from e.g. AWS). Having other sources for reviews sounds like a really good idea.

We were just discussing in the mbarcode thread (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...light=mbarcode) whether to separate the barcode scanning bit (e.g. mbarcode) from the app which does the processing/other things with the barcode information.

I'm still undecided tbh whether it would be better for a light-weight mbarcode (or similar) which just scans the barcodes, and then sends the information over dbus for other apps to use, or for mbarcode itself to have plugins so that various apps could be integrated with it (i.e. the barcode scanner).

What are your thoughts?
