Until someone takes you up on your proposal, I think the best Sudoku
computer program is Robert Woodhead's Sudoku Susser, written in REALbasic.
Blush. The idea of OCR'ing from an ISIGHT camera is pretty nifty,
but will be a LOT of work. The Susser already OCRs from puzzle
images, but it cheats and expects the puzzle to be perfectly aligned.
It does do all the hinting, though.
The following
introduction to Sudoku (written by Robert Woodhead for kids) is as good
an introduction as I've seen in any Sudoku book:

I got asked to do a couple of Sudoku books based on the Sudoku4kids
document. The first is a kids book, Brainiac Sudoku, that will be
out in the spring. The second is a more advanced book for adults
that goes into some of the more insane techniques. Both from Peter
Pauper Press.
So now I'm a dead-tree author as well. My mom is so proud.
