The new Android phone from Samsung, the i7500, has been out in the wild for a few weeks (evidently secretly).  How do I know?  I have been getting emails from users complaining that our barcode scanner doesn’t work on the phone.  Evidently the inclusion of the LED flash interferes with our focus process preventing ShopSavvy from scanning barcodes with the device. Good news, we will be able to release a new version that fixes the problem. Bad news, we won’t be able to release a new version until AFTER we have an actual i7500 in our hands to test with. Our contacts at Samsung have been strangely silent these past few weeks (I suspect due to the impending launch of the device).

Reports are surfacing that the general public (on O2) will be able to purchase the phone next week.  I assume Samsung will be sending us a device soon thereafter so check for updates.  In the meantime, i7500 users can always use the manual entry or title search feature on the phone.  BTW – the phone looks awesome.  Great work Samsung!
