The solution that was launched for all other mobile phones back in 2006 is now ready to be deployed on these smart phones and can now be downloaded for free via Android Market or BlackBerry App Store.
“Mobile Tag is a company that constantly tries to stay one step ahead of the trends, closely following new hardware launches, which explains why we have adapted our mobiletag solution to ensure that a version compatible with smart phones such as the GPhones or BlackBerry is available for our customers as of today,” comments Christian François Viala, Marketing and Communication Director at Mobile Tag.
GPhones
“Using the mobiletag software on the new GPhones from Google will give our users faster direct access to the Internet when they shoot a tag to obtain external content,” continues Mr. Viala. “The main difference when using mobiletag on the GPhones will be that rather than using the phone’s camera to take a snap shot of the 2D barcode, users will need to use their phones in video mode instead”.
BlackBerry
As for the GPhones, mobiletag for the BlackBerry Bold will also need to be used in video mode – saving time (as no snap shot needs to be captured) and offering an easier and more user-friendly interface. For all other BlackBerry models, the solution operates in its traditional snap shot mode.
