[rudeguy]

Pretty cool if you ask me. Hopefully we see more of this.

My phone can't read it, it's too blurry.

Dumb question - what app / software do I need to scan QR codes on my Droid X? Is there anything official from Google? Trying to avoid third party apps like the plague (at least for the moment ).

Barcode scanner. Its an app on the market


And why no 3rd party apps?

wtf, why? you think it will start crashing your phone or something? Just look at the comments and review. If its low rated skip it.

and that's where we differ. I'll run any app. I've downloaded apps from Soviet Russia just to see what's the worst that can happen.

I also end up flashing my phone back to stock a lot....

Pretty sure google goggles will scan them.

 

[Raduque]

Yeah Google Goggles will read QR codes.

i hate dealing with QR codes. IF you give me a name, I search it up Android Market. Same goes with the Apple App store. As simple as that.

Did your phone already have Verizon's code scanner shipped on it?

Saw one on my bread bag...Kind of weirded me out.

Its amazing how slow the US is. Asia has been using this for 10+years already. Still cool tho.

yes, but many times apps have similarly spelled names and can potentially be confusing. the QR code is a great way to take you to the right place automatically.

i love using them.

I saw these codes at best Buy on the tags on the shelf with the item description, also in their ad
