2D Barcode - Scan on phone to visit site

Post by Keith Jordan »

If you have a smartphone, and have an application for visiting websites from a 2D barcode, then have a go of NPF's very first one below! ;-)

You can generate 2D barcodes here.

I just downloaded an application for free from the Ovi store for my Nokia N8 to read barcodes. Its called UpCode and is free of charge.

I just tested it and it works. Perhaps Keith should start putting it on milk cartons or something

It is only sat here on this thread so doesn't drive any traffic, no.
