A first app made by Microsoft for Android is making its debut. Tag, a 2D barcode reader that has been available for Windows Mobile, J2ME, Blackberry and Symbian S60 phones.
It is obvious that Microsoft is trying to expand its technology to broader audience including competitive platforms.
From your mobile phone, simply snap or scan a Tag image anywhere you see it – in editorials, advertisements, product packaging, signs and storefronts – and gain instant access to Websites, videos, reviews, schedules, contact information, social networks, discounts, promotions and more! All you need to do is download the free Tag reader on your web enabled camera phone and when you see a Tag, snap or scan it to interact with the world around you in new ways!
You can create your own code HERE!
