It would be nice to have an interactive demo, because I think it would take a lot of getting used to. I guess on a phone you don't have to compete quite as much against touch-typing for the advertised "efficiency."

I'm surprised Enkin (http://www.enkin.net/) isn't on the list.

Andriod Scan is pretty amazing.

Take a picture of a bar code, it scans it and finds you the best prices online instantly. I could go to a mall with my phone, scan the crap I like...then just buy it all online and potentially save lots of money. Sounds like a game changer to me.

I've read about similar services here in Europe before. But how they intend to implement it is interesting.

Video of it here: http://scan.jsharkey.org/

Great idea, but implementation could be smoother. Definitely something to look forward to :)
