Large in Japan, they have massive bilboards with the 3d barcodes on so people can scan them as they go past on trains etc

also shop windows are full of them

The open standards will always prevail.

So uptake is fairly good amongst, for example, people at a car show?

It doesn't really serve a purpose, especially as they've decided to start bumming HTML5, Javascript and CSS3 :|

Was tempted to do the blue microsoft tag, aswell, but it looked shit and not many people know about them.

There is one built into windows phone 7, click on the search button and click on the vision icon and you can scan for QR Codes and Microsoft Tags.

I actually think that the latest Windows stuff is done using Silverlight - no idea what the scripting language is for that though.

Either way, there's the Android Marketplace and with Windows Marketplace - or something along those lines.

I don't think so, I'm sure Android is Java based and Windows is C#/++, I can't remember off top of my head though :o

For these things to take off, phone manufacturers need to include the QR Code reader in their camera app. Can you imagine explaining to your Mum how all this stuff works?

IOS and Android phones you need to get a free app from the marketplace.

Unsure about Windows and BBM though

Those 2D bar code things, look like a grid of random pixels, you can point your phone at them and they'll take you to a web address, right?

Do you need special software on a typical modern phone?
