Great site! From what I'm seeing the time to tip is getting much closer. My bet is that some cell phone company - maybe Verizon/Android v T-Mobile/ Apple - is going to push some printing network to get this mainstream. The other possibility is that some agency will want to get a headline in AD Age and push some printers into doing what I'm calling Clickable Print. I followed your link from the media shift comment.

It had tremendous disruptive potential from a technology standpoint, but the drawback with the :CueCat was that it was a "tethered" device -- meaning the user could only scan barcodes while seated in front of their personal computer. The customer had no mobility and could not take the device with them. Did you know the company behind the :CuCat, Digital Convergence, licensed the patent portfolio of NeoMedia Technologies before launching the :CueCat? Flash forward to today, mobile barcode reading is an everyday part of the popular culture in Japan. The technology is just now beginning to emerge in Europe with North America not too far behind. The reason why mobile code-reading is flourishing today, is because the mobile phone is portable and it can be carried with you at all times. NeoMedia is the company behind the mobile code-reading application, NeoReader. Based off the award winning Lavasphere technology developed in Germany by Gavitec, the NeoReader features NeoMedia's patented resolution technology combined with Gavitec's ultra-small footprint and platform independent algorithms. It is able to read and decipher all common non-proprietary 2D codes (Data Matrix, QR, Aztec, Maxi) as well as URL embedded 2D codes and all 1D UPC/EAN/Code 128 open source codes. The NeoReader supports direct and indirect code linking, which guarantees maximum interoperability with already existing platforms like 2D Data Matrix Semacodes, and Japanese QR links. This allows the user to click on a variety of codes with a single application installed on their mobile device. The NeoReader ushers in and inaugurates a brand new era of innovative mobile enterprise and optical code reading solutions for the wireless industry. Visit get.neoreader.com to download the free application, and instantly transform your mobile phone into a universal code reader.
