The new blackberry messenger that was released last week has added the ability to decode QR codes using the phone’s camera. I’m about 98% sure there’s an app for the iPhone and for Android that’ll do the same thing. QR codes are 2 dimensional bar codes that can hold a variety of data, from URLs to phone numbers to plain text.

Here’s one for my website

I have a feeling these codes are going to start popping up on advertisements and other promotional things in the near future.
