Matt Chapman It’s working flawlessly on NRGZ28’s latest WM6.5 ROM. Download the FuzeBerry Edition and Titanium Nights WM6.5 themes directly to your device using the TagReader… (Snap it and Download it)
smis this will be nice when companies start to use it.
Would be nice it if worked with UPC or from a pic.
l3it3r So… how about setting up some tags for us at http://tag.microsoft.com that will link directly to the stories so we can get to the downloads faster?
Matt Chapman I’ve set up some tags for my WM6.5 FuzeBerry Edition and Titanium Nights themes to see how it works . So far, so good and now they can be downloaded directly to your device just by snapping the tag.
Huppophonic 2D barcode advertising is most definitely coming your way but it probably won’t be with Microsoft’s Tag system, which is, as usual, proprietary. Microsoft would love for everyone to adopt their proprietary system, but the cell carriers have already gotten behind an open-standard, non-proprietary system.
An excellent free reader that handles all the for WinMO that handles all the current non-proprietary codes can be had here:
You need to go there with your phone since using a PC will redirect you.
It will not detect your phone, so you need to click through to manually choose.
From the list, you can choose Windows Mobile. This brings you to a page where it allows you to download the generic version, which works fine on WinMo.
After this, do a Google image search for ‘QR Codes’ this will get you thousands of results you can try out.
These little codes are sneaking onto all kinds of things in North America! They are already big in Japan and are covering Europe.
bitbucket @huppophonic: Well, going to the get page with my Fuze redirected me, too. Any hints?
Huppophonic DL the cab directly from here:

Hopefully someone can mirror that for me?
sounds sorta neat/consumerist. does this work w/ wm 6.5?
