Roadog this patent reexam could be more than just about barocdes.. could also be about NFC and RFID , don't quote me but here's what I found when the first reexam passed some blogger made these commets see link below he obviously wasn't happy about it passing..

The community must recognize the harm of granting obvious patents such as ’048 which is going to be applied in strength by NeoMedia to everything related to digital-to-physical world connections, such as “mobile barcodes” and even potentially to NFC-based interactions; the latter harder to protect as the ’048 is mainly about barcodes yet it is up to interpretation as the ’048 does mention “RF”.
This is a serious matter and I predict the ’048 patent is going to be a heated topic in the future.
