Here’s what the new app does for you:

Edocrab, a free barcode scanner for BlackBerry, is now available as a public beta. This application is ad-supported as you can see in the screenshots above, but the ads don’t really interfere with the usage of edocrab.
In addition, you can also create lists or view a history of searched items.
For a beta, edocrab seems to work nicely and offers some great features. It took me a few times to get the barcode to scan properly, but I was doing it in an area that wasn’t very well lit. Once I moved the barcode was clear enough for edocrab to scan and quickly get results.
Edocrab works better with the BlackBerry Curve 8900, Storm and Tour because of their auto-focus capabilities, but you can still use it with devices that don’t have auto-focus by using the manual search options.
