Could this make the iPhone really useful?

Embedded Video

I've mentioned shotcodes and qrcodes before, but I've just come across something that could kick their adoption into high gear.

iMatrix is a free app that runs on the iPhone.  With this app you can use the iPhones camera to capture different types of codes and use them in a variety of ways.  Now these codes have been around for sometime and their adoption in Japan, thanks in part to DoCoMo, is fairly widespread but here in the USA the adoption is nearly zero.

Well it seems that iMatrix may change that.  iPhones have had a dramtic adoption rate, with the mobile version of Safari now topping the chartsimatrix,shotcode,qrcode,mobile,.  By turning the iPhone into a capture and display device for these codes it really opens the opportunites.

Now I just have to find someone with an iPhone to test it on.  Yes I'm looking at you Clyde & Brent.

semacode generator...

Andy Mabbett posted a semacode for microformats.org on the Wiki.  I have mentioned, on other blogs, my interest in semacodes, shotcodes etc. Andy pointed to Semafox which lets you create them on the fly from a URL. You can see the semacode for this blog and if you have a capable phone, let me know if it works. This is definitely a technology that is still sitting in the wings.
