This a very strategic win for Nextcode.
Nextcode's mobile codes, which are designed specifically for mobile phones, will appear in a recurring publication offering familiarity and a greater chance of adoption.
Second, these codes will be presented to an audience that are considered "early adopters". These are the people most likely to test and adopt a new technology.
ConnexTo's 2d barcodes look different, and perform a lot better, than most mobile barcodes.
I think proprietary codes like mcodes, have a great chance of adoption because consumers will be able to recognize the distinct code and WILL KNOW what functions/applications are associated with them. O
Network World has partnered with Nextcode and is adding ConnexTo 2d barcodes to their weekly magazine. Using your camera phone, just scan a code and get IT news delivered right to your phone. Want to add a comment to a story, just scan a code and be connected to their mobile site.
