			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple of days ago I got a sexy new phone; the E65. I made the choice to get it over the N95, because everyone I know with an N95 complains that it&#8217;s a brick and the battery is crap. I&#8217;m very very happy with my E65, but one of the guys in the office was showing off his N95 and he had an app mine didn&#8217;t; the &#8220;barcode reader&#8221;.</p>
<p>After much investigation from us both, we discovered that is doesn&#8217;t read barcodes, but <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Matrix" title="Wikipedia">datamatrix </a>and <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code" title="Wikipedia">QR codes</a>. In retaliation, I downloaded a reader for my E65 called<a target="_blank" href="http://www.i-nigma.com/" title="i-nigma"> i-nigma</a>, which works a shit load faster and more reliably than the N95 one! <img src='http://www.sonicpenguins.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So obviously after all that, I had to go and make my own QR code <img src='http://www.sonicpenguins.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> <span id="more-248"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.sonicpenguins.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/blogqr.jpg" title="Blog QR Code" class="imagelink"><img src="http://www.sonicpenguins.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/blogqr.jpg" alt="Blog QR Code" /></a></p>
<p>Nokia have a code creator on <a target="_blank" href="http://mobilecodes.nokia.com" title="mobilecodes.nokia.com">their site</a>, but it makes the datamatrix type, which aren&#8217;t as pretty <img src='http://www.sonicpenguins.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>After all this investigation, I&#8217;m left wondering if anyone will actually bother using these things! Pretty much every mobile phone now has a camera in it, so everyone could be using these things, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen one of these things on the street.</p>
