QR codes… the future?

QR code, originally uploaded by bastichelaar.

As you might know, I have a new Nokia e71 phone. Great phone by the way! But on the phone there is an application called Barcode Scanner. I didn’t know what to do with it. I tried to scan barcodes, but nothing happened.
Today I was surfing on the internet, and read something about QR codes. They told Nokia phones are compatible with those codes, and can read them. So I was really excited, and opened the application, scanned the picture, and guess what: it worked! I think this is a great way for supermarkets to provide more information about products, or other shops to provide reviews and stuff like that!
If you want to know how to create a code yourself, grab your Nokia, and scan this picture!
