It doesn't have the scanner piece, but Worldcat Mobile (beta) has the mobile
apps for various phones and platforms.. see more at

Their partnering with Boopsie in this.. I have the Boopsie Android app on my
phone, and can do lookups via the WorldCat channel.. pretty nifty...

Take care, and happy holidays,
Michael
