Is it possible to turn a blackberry camera to a barcode reader?

Question

I've got a blackberry curve, and it runs OS 5. What APIs should I be looking at to use the camera as a barcode reader?

This won't help you right now, but OS 6 will have a builtin Barcode API: http://devblog.blackberry.com/2010/07/blackberry-6-developers/ — jkramer, Aug 02 '10 at 11:26

Check out zxing. It has a J2ME implementation so it should fit just fine.

EDIT: Also has a RIM specific section

I've used the WinMobile version and I can vouch. – renick Aug 03 '10 at 14:59
