I do not seem what is so revoluationary with upcode. There are numerous technologies which have been there already for more than 2 years!! For example, shotcode, semacode, QRcode etc. Also upcode only has 15 phones!
Revolutionary is defined as... "bring about a political or social revolution, marked by or resulting in radical change"
Focus on "radical change"..How many phones do you see using a 2D code?
How many 2D codes have you seen in the last month, 6 months?
Also not the applications UPCODE is using a 2D code for...not for price comparison.
What major cell phone manufacturer has their headquarters in Finland.
