Despite there being dozens of barcode scanners each bring a revenue potential as users hopefully compare online prices and buy. AT&T now has a barcode scanner for Android and BlackBerry. The app is much like other scanners, it allows you to scan and share codes for content, apps, products, and other information. I personally have found the scanning option nicer than typing in infomation. Keep in mind BlackBerry Messenger now allows information sharing via barcode scanning. Download and check it out.
AT&T Mobile Barcode Services include:
- AT&T Code Scanner: a free mobile application** which provides a fun and easy way to scan 2D (QR and datamatrix codes) and 1D (UPC and EAN) barcodes found in magazines, stores, and online, unlocking new ways to experience the world.
