Interesting - type in barcoderbot in google search. (I misread your URL so stumbled on this google nugget).
So, what does the logo say exactly? Just "Google"?
Yes. Yay for cell phones that can scan barcodes.
All the ones I've seen seem to either only read the fancy 2D datamatrix-type ones, or go off to some price comparison webservice and don't actually tell me anything about the barcode.
Edit: Just tried zXing from the app store, and it failed all of the pictures I took in good light conditions...

Are there any iPhone apps that will read traditional barcodes such as the one on the Google homepage?

It's nice to see "the little guy" getting a boost as well!

"Barcode Reader" on Android, which uses the zXing library, worked for me. (I don't know how the iPhone app works, but Barcode Reader continuously takes pictures until it recognizes a barcode. It seems to work quite reliably.)

As an exercise with PHP and the gd library, I wrote a couple of scripts a while ago that would generate UPC-A and UPC-E barcode images on the fly. I've always been fascinated with barcodes and scanners that read them. http://jazzychad.com/barcode/
