The main problem when decoding 1D Barcodes is still the image quality and the lack of macro-mode of the majority of the mobile handsets.
Snappr.net has a demo for decoding 1D Codes on the iPhone with the help of a macro-lense and it works pretty well (video at YouTube ).
Together with the ability to enter barcodes manually I strongly believe that this technology is hitting the spot.
