Question about
Will the Pre 3 camera work with Bar code scanners?
If I remember correctly the palm pre and palm pre 2 didn't really work with bar code scanners because it didn't have auto focus. It just had a pre set focus a certain distance away. I know personally from owning a Pre the camera wasn't real great and the 1 app someone did make didn't seem to work well. Any one know any more info on the camera other than it is 5 megapixels?

The Pre3 will have an auto focus camera. So if the scanner app is written well, it should be fine.

It should do fine (assuming some real APIs come out.) @joshmarinacci posted a pic here twitpic.com/4xmmgc showing the Macro feature of the Pre3.

Yes, it will work fine. It has an autofocus camera and camera API's are built into webOS 2.2, so barcode scanners will work fine.
