You know how nearly everything in Japan is tagged with QR Codes these days? OK, so you probably don't, and chances are you know QR Codes as 2D barcodes (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code for more info).
Now every Windows Mobile phone owner (not to mention Symbian, UIQ etc) can also read these codes with the free Quickmark QR Code Reader you can get available here! Downloads are in CAB format, but that's cool with CABviaActiveSync right?  You can create your own QR Codes here. Paul (MVP): I've given it a go (see pic), and it works amazingly well... see pic below! Edit: If you find you have Chinese rather than English, track down the install directory and rename QuickMark.0409.dll to QuickMark.0809.dll (assuming you are using a UK English device - US English devices should be fine out of the box)  -------------------- |

OK, the next question is this: Which of those links on the Quickmart download page would relate to an Orange SPV C600?

It uses the camera in your phone to "read in" the code, basically take a picture. I am betting it then uses a neural network of some kind to carry out recognition on the image to decipher the information in the code image. Very cool... |

This is cooool!
The only downside is that the URL for the image includes the text/SMS/URL that it "holds", otherwise you could use it for semi-secure storage of information Email links would be handy too |

Add instructions for getting English if you find the app is in Chinese:
'If you find you have Chinese rather than English, track down the install directory and rename QuickMark.0409.dll to QuickMark.0809.dll (assuming you are using a UK English device - US English devices should be fine out of the box)' P |

On my JAMin I have to enable Macro mode with the lil switch to get the avatars working.
I am in 1600x1200 on a 15" screen which is probably not helpful tho P |

I put the 818 Pro version on my Wizard and the image is inverted (not a HUGE problem, but it makes it harder to line up the barcode)

...same with the 818 version
In fact the menu on the 818 version is corrupt on my Wizard too (818 Pro is the better of the two so far!). |
