Cabernet--Exelent article, nice find. The author wasn't familiar enough with neomedia to help us much tho. Many of the things he said:


However, if product UPC’s are readable by any cellphone, off the shelf, then the potential for bottom up social software to bloom is seeded. Imagine scanning a UPC and getting a quick report from greenpeace or amnesty on the manufacturer’s worker rights record or undesirable chemical ingredients, you could leave a rant or a glowing review on your breakfast cereal and create your own database! Mobile activism - or perhaps this should be called mobile action (maction man!) - will boom as this technology is not only cheap to implement and to participate in, it requires virtually no technical knowledge to use and most importantly for mass adoption - this software can generate micro payments to producers or traffic revenue for operators.

he is just imagining what Qode can do already. But NEOM is mentioned with Nokia so I take it Qode will be on the phone and that IS AWESOME. Also I hope we and scanbuy come to an agreement soon as they were mentioned also.

Could the N93 be the phone with code pre-installed? Look at this.

From Cabernet's post re: Nokia N93

So what of the N93 and the first pre-installed 2D barcode reader software? It leaves me with a few questions that the instruction manual did not answer that i’m sure will become apparent soon enough. Such as which formats have nokia decided to support? Semacode/QR/Shotcode? Does it support the UPC, Universal Product Code that we see ubiquitously around us everyday on our shop bought produce? The application icon would suggest so.


From Neomedia PR June 28 http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/060628/20060628005491.html?.v=1

NeoMedia also announced that it planned to make qode code-agnostic - i.e. read most if not all types of (one-dimensional) barcodes and (two-dimensional) smartcodes, including QR, the "Quick Response" style of smartcode that is available open-source and has become a marketplace phenomenon in Japan where more than 20 million mobile phones already carry code-scanning software, as well as a number of other proprietary symbologies.

From an Undated article I posted Oct. 2005
http://multimedia.tbo.com/multimedia/popup/MGAAE8DCERD.html

NeoMedia Technology Inc. has developed a software program that allows camera- phone toting shoppers to comparison hunt while in the aisles. The publicly traded company plans to begin selling the software program, called Paperclick, in Europe later this month and may roll it out in the United States later this year.

The first markets the company plans to tap: Cannes, France, and Hannover, Germany. The software will be sold preloaded in new Nokia 3650 and 3660 digital camera phones, the company said.

NeoMedia founder and Chairman Chas Fritz said the Fort Myers company hopes to roll out the products to American consumers this year.

``This will be the device you'll take with you,' Fritz said. ``At the end of the day, you're going to walk around with this to shop, to stay connected, to get information.'

While the Nokia N93 mobile phone is very significant in that it will have barcode recognition software, from all that I have read it will decode 2D barcodes...not 1D, which are much more prevalent in today's world.
