2D Bar Code Reader

Even though this application from Nokia is been around from long time, had never tried it. I recently came across Mobile Barcoder extension for FireFox!! It is really great.

Nokia 2D bar code reader uses the built in camera to scan and interpret the barcodes. I was wondering what it would be useful for. Nokia has a barcode generation site which lets you encode URL, text or business card information and generate a barcode. One can use the site to generate barcodes and display on the site.


There aren't much sites that support this, but with the help of the barcoder extension, it is very easy to use :)

Main use of this is transferring URL's to mobile phone without much hazels. Say I am downloading a theme for the mobile, I just have to browse on the PC; and transfer the url to the mobile and then download directly on the phone!!!

Web OS!!!

There has been lot of hype on the WEB OS's recently, I did find out the free ones already out in the market and listed them :)

Following are the different free WEB OS's available:
a) G.ho.st
b) Desktop Two
c) eyeOS

Each one of the above has its own pros and cons. But I like the way this guys have implemented. I will review each of the above and come up with my observations shortly :)

Till then happy logging on to web systems :)
