Quickmark QR Code Software available for SELECTED Windows Mobile phones
July 26, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R.

Some Chinese company has released a software for SELECTED Windows Mobile phones that makes it possible, with use of the built-in cameras, to read 2-dimension bar codes like this one:



Unfortunately this software is not (!) using standard camera API, but instead it is using low-level proprietary camera capturing features, so it is not working universally in all Windows Mobile phones... (several models with which we tested, including HTC Universal, were not working)

the inclusion of QR Code reading software on camera phones in Japan has led to a wide variety of new, consumer-oriented applications, aimed at relieving the user of the tedious task of entering data into their mobile phone. QR Codes storing addresses and URLs are becoming increasingly common in magazines and advertisements in Japan. The addition of QR Codes on business cards is also becoming common, greatly simplifying the task of entering the personal details of a new acquaintance into the address book of one's mobile phone.

Related links: Conclusion: QR codes certainly are a future of barcode applications - thanks to the fact that they are 2-dimensional (square) they are much easier to scan by camera phones and they are very practical for example in visit cards or even in websites. Please note that some Windows Mobile phones have camera with "macro function" what means that taking photos even from close distance is practically possible and usable.
