Have you ever wanted to completely isolate your private keys from networks and removable media?  Armory nearly accomplishes this, but still requires removable media to move the transaction content back and forth.  I've created an Android app called Armory Companion that allows you to broadcast signed transactions on the bitcoin network after signing with your offline Armory instance (or any other bitcoin instance for that matter) using QR code scanning.  There are some tiny python scripts that run on the offline computer to facilitate QR code scanning with the webcam and generation of the final signed transaction QR code.

See this video for a demonstration of how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlSC3mLjNSg

This post shows that this is something other people want, so I figured I'd share it:
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/8101/how-to-sign-a-transaction-using-only-offline-computer

The code is here:

Feel free to fork and modify as you desire.  The app will be on Google Play soon.

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

Very cool idea.  It will increase security noticeably.  I'll be interested in giving it a spin.

very nice.

now a dedicated armory machine would be very nice to manufacture.

I imagine a tiny offline tablet like device that has toptop security and an armory like wallet system onboard and signs things with your QR code idea.
