I have nothing but questions, myself. Care to answer? The QR system seems like it has holes, Why? If it has been around for so long why has it taken so many years to develop "one" reader for all of these types of codes? Could the reader, read more than one thing, besides QR codes? If I am Germany and I want to find a McDonalds nearest to my location, if I have one multifunctional tool on my mobile, why not just enter the keyword? What if I can't find the QR code? How much endless walking will I need to do? Why can't I get the same response when I click the Logo. I am not a supporter of Neomedia. Although, I can see so many uses for their technology. I am just another person with questions that seems like no one can answer. Seems like a Q uick R ecipe for disaster. This is true about the Japanese. I have nothing but questions, myself.

When was Scanbuy formed again? From what I have learned Neomedia has been around since 95.

I wonder how a Company can have patents on something LGPL'd, and in the public domain. http://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/rohs/visualcodes/ Not to mention QRCodes wich is avaliable since mids '90.

Take your ridiculous claims about Scanbuy and the EFF back to Ihub. Maybe the folls at investorshub.com will listen to you there. I agree.

Chances are your new mobile will come with a QR code reader built-in. I don’t see much future in Scanbuy given the already ubiquitous use of mobile QR codes in Japan and Europe.

I am not sure if this is totally true. I have done a lot of research on this and Neomedia has been doing this for over 10 years. From what I have researched also, Neomedia has a litigation suit against Scanbuy, BUT, the EFF is pressing the USPTO on the Neomedia patents for the second time after the first failed. But the thing I find most interesting is that Neomedia allows consumers to click on other things. Which, IMO, is a lot more diverse. “The idea is scanning barcodes with your mobile phone camera and the company is Scanbuy.”
