Hmm... sounds like the only 1D player CamClic takes it all then?
I thought Scanbuy was also a 1-d player?
Whats a matter Scott Everybody have to kiss your ass to post a response. Well FU you and the load of bananas you rode over on.
Interesting...lots of options could be leading to this but two that immediately come to mind are either MS rethinking feasibility or prepping a new commercial version? MS doesn't have shortage of web space to swap to commercial product so the latter unlikely.
If MS isn't convinced on feasibility this might signal they're thinking there are more factors that are key to mobile code scanning success (eg. drive consumer adoption) than what meets the eye.
The MC2 initiative should be looking closely at this, me thinks, as MS might have a lot to say on the ability to conclude these days on what works and what doesn't.
That's really cool. This only shows how creative the people are in just making everything convenient to use.
