ScanLife for Everyone!

by david

With barcode scanning becoming more and more popular every day, and we were starting to hear from a growing number of non-Smartphone users who wanted in on the fun.  While we have apps that work on Java & even BREW devices, we just launched a new service that increases our reach in the US by 35% in a single day! "Scan & Send" basically allows someone to take a normal picture of a 2D or 1D barcode, send it to us by MMS or email, we will decode it from our server and send back the correct content.  Here's the real kicker - this works on industry standard barcodes like QR Codes, Datamatrix, EZcode, and even UPC codes with an auto-focus camera.  So, if you're one of the 20 million people in the US that already have a standard code reader on your phone, you can just launch the app (hopefully ScanLife) to get the content is seconds.  If not, use Scan & Send! MMS works in the US by sending the picture to 43588, and it's available to AT&T, Verizon and Sprint - the top 3 carriers, and hopefully we will have the fourth very soon. Not in the US?  Just send the picture to scan@scanlife.com, and we'll send a link back by email instead. So, you want to use standard QR Codes, but also want to reach three times more people than just Smartphones?  Here's your answer!
