Possibly scan documents using iPhone/iPod Touch

When I first read the title, I had images in my head about scanning fingers for prints, or barcodes for recognition. I suppose in theory, you could use a network scanner and an iPhone with some custom verification application to create a homemade barcode scanner or something along those lines.

My buddy has an Android phone that can do exactly what you imagined: scan a barcode, and do something useful with it. He can scan the barcode of a book I'm carrying, and up comes an Amazon page where he can buy it, for example.
