Bar-codes to revolutionise business cards

Will my idea take a new crazy in the business industry? Only time will tell. The idea of the barcodes are to display on your blackberry for another blackberry to scan it off your screen. I then had the idea to print out the image to use physically!

will the scanner only work on Blackberry?

[tumbleseed]

@studentangel For the moment yes, but I'm sure other mobile/PDA manufacturers will see the potential of this idea and start doing the same.

Sounds nice, but will the card look like the one you've made there?

and this will only be handy if everyone has a Blakbarri who can read the codes right?

Fancy code btw

[tumbleseed]

@c0lyn0 Well, for now yes. Until other mobile manufacturers bring out barcodes to add information too, but Blackberry phones are mostly business orientated anyway so it will be good for employer-employer if not employer-customer for now.

Its a good idea, it has potential, but if only blackberry's do it at the moment it may take a while before it catches on. I do see the pro's in saving paper and money on printing cards, etc. though!
