ScanLife has finally released their 2D barcode reader for the iPhone. Until now it was available for a host of other phones but now you can hit the App icon and download it for free.
ScanLife is involved in a city wide roll out of 2D barcode reviews, available via Citysearch, throughout San Francisco. Read the SFGate.com article that the project here.

I had my friend download the ScanLife application to his iPhone so I could give it a test drive.
For starters, the application can only read and decipher proprietary EZcodes. Unfortunately the ScanLife application offers no support for 1D UPC/EAN barcodes, or 2D Data Matrix, Aztec, or QR codes. This is the major downfall of the application, since it only supports one proprietary 2D symbology. As a result, ScanLife is not a true universal code reader like the NeoReader.
It should also be noted that ScanLife only supports one language: English … while the NeoReader supports multiple languages: English and German.
The NeoReader even has a UPC number search function, while ScanLife does not.
Bottom line: The NeoReader easily outperforms ScanLife.
