Today Microsoft launched its first Android application Tag Reader, The company has released an Android port of its Tag app, which allows users to access information stored in its special barcode format. The application enables phone owners to scan various barcodes with their devices, and it is already available for download from the Android Market. Microsoft’s Tag technology enables users to transform their mobile phones in barcode readers. All that one has to do is to point the camera on the phone at a tag, take a picture, and the application will interpret it.
Other companies, including Google, are working on these mobile barcodes as well. In fact, just prior to the Nexus One unveiling, all Google employees were given the device with a special barcode on the back that other Android devices could scan to get that person’s information. The app is a free download from the Android Market. Microsoft hasn’t listed minimum requirements other than a camera and should support at least Android 1.5
