Eh, like Micke said, we've had a similar system for years in sweden. People get their own scanners at the entrance, scan every product in the store and can put them directly in the bag, then when you get to the checkout counter you scan a checkout barcode, pay with your credit card and return the scanner. Every once in a while you will be checked, but if you've scanned everything correctly the checks will be less and less frequent and now I think I've shopped 20 times in a row without being checked. This system is great. There are no lines, you more or less walk right through the cashier. You pack your bags from the start and save the hassle of hurrying stuff down the bags before the next guy in line want your spot (in sweden we dont have people packing your bags for you at the cashier).
This mobilepicturetakingstuff just seem silly, the handscanners seems a lot smother. My camera takes a few seconds to take a picture and several more to store it, but the scanner is instant. Then I know they are talking about RFID, so I guess its coming, we have that already at the library where you just place your books at a plate and its done.
