I made AppLens (formely AppSnap) a iphone app that lets you install any other iphone app by taking a picture of its icon (on other phones or laptop screens or anything else).
It's a free app + ads, most of its users are from china and japan.
Money-wise definitely not an hit!
I spent quite a bit on time to develop the backend part (in C) and optimized it to query 3mil icons in few ms on a commodity server (cheap).

Cool idea, liked it! Can you give some hints about the image processing you have done or what kind of trick did you use?
This is incredibly awesome.
Thanks!! :)
