Nokia N96 App Review – Microsoft Tag

Name: Microsoft Tag

Description: Barcode Reader

Summary: I’m sure by now most of you have found your barcode reader preinstalled on your nokia n96 and put it to the test, but the rest of the world didn’t really do anything with that technology. Finally Microsoft released a barcode reader that the rest of the would will do something about which promises that it will be “Linking real life to the digital world“. To go with this new reader Microsoft created a new type of code dubbed “Microsoft Tag” which use large bold colours to retain a web-link. Microsoft say that that these tags will be put on packaging, posters, magazines, business cards and even on restaurant advertising just to link up their ad to their website. Microsoft have lots of support for this barcode but is limited to only a few countries.

Overview: If Microsoft get enough interest in this then it will become very popular as it reads the code much easier than any before and the software is very easy to use. Their is one thing which is actually downloading the application which is impossible from your PC, you have to go to the website at the bottom and download it from there which I think is stupid because most people download application from their Pc. At least its free and give hope that our phones will become more useful.
