mobile coupons ARE NOT going to be bar codes. I believe everyone is trying to solve the wrong problem. Getting a barcode to a phone was possible 4 years ago. this is not breakthru...the problem occurs with Abu at the counter not getting a barcode to a phone.
You mean mobile coupons are not barcodes NOW.
I wouldn't make a statement like" mobile coupons ARE NOT going to be bar codes"
I agree. everybody is thinking barcode barcode. its like trying to solve a problem thats in the past. only new thinking will solve this and I dont believe it will have anything to do with barcodes on a phone. It'll come from the payment side cause thats whre the problem is. You shouldnt be so quick to critisize your posters. they were only stating their opinion. and thats just mine.
I didn't criticize the poster, I criticized his statement.
To make a blanket statement like "mobile coupons ARE NOT going to be bar codes" was stating a fact about the future.
There are many companies working on this application right now and they do include a barcode.
IMO, in order for this application to get adopted, the standard has to be universal.
'What's Abu at the counter'?
Hello,
I would like to know the maximum supported lenght of a linear barcode that
can be sent with only one sms message.
