add option to open url with podcast application!

I would like to have an option to save it as a new podcast. This would be really convenient instead of having to type a very long url in the nokia podcast application. You can scan it and pass it to the podcast application. Or the podcast application should be able to open saved files in the memory card, that would also be an option.

I'm working for the Capitoline Museums, Rome, and on my advice we are planning to substitute our traditional panels with 3DCodes linking to a special .mobi website where we not only detail the objects exhibited, but explain their artistical and historic background.

We can see the following major advantages:

- no space limit (regualr panels/tags only can contain a few words or phrases)
- internationalization: english/italian/german/french version(automatically recognized by HTTP headers and chosen accordingly)

http://mobilecodes.nokia.com/create.jsp generates vcards
where content is happily UTF8 or latin9 if input so dictates. In these cases, I believe each element should explicitly
define charset.
Risk is, that while in europe phones seem to default translating byte to character using latin9 quite readily,
in other parts of the world, some other charset might
be prioritized first, making vcard saving different content
for different people.

Thanks.

coding of calendar-events to save directly to the calendar-apllication of the phone.

This could be much more interesting for many users, to provide events etc.

If this is possible, but I did not find out, please give me a hint, how I could manage to code Events for direct saving to the phone. Thank you!

I downloaded latest version as of 05/15/2009 and it is working on my Nokia E71. Excellent tool. Hope you are able to take them and extend it. I would think this would be an excellent app for someone to hook into internert and really offer many options (i.e. find lowest price, find at store near you, find accessories, etc...). I have just heard Google is planning on doing something like this for Android, but no reason why it can be done for other phones. Keep up the good work.

- vcard decoding in non E-series (specially in the n95) mobiles
- PDF417 reading
- 1D barcodes reading

But would it be possible to read standard bar codes like on price-tags and products?
Than it would be awesome to use with my shopping list :-)

Quickmark is alot better but for it to work properly u have to pay.

E.g. try reading

http://mobilecodes.nokia.com/dm?BARCODE=zzz&X=0.18&name=&type=link&MODE=...

My E90 is V 07.40.1.2 03-10-2007 RA-6 NokiaE90 213.03

Problem is that even if fixed in later releases it means you cannot reliably use barcodes that have Z in them as many people will have old an broken versions of the reader.

This rather limits use of barcodes.

You can download the latest version at http://www.annotatio.de

It follows the idea that you mentioned above. ZebraScan will let you connect to a mobile portal that will resolve the product name and provide links to Google and Amazon (especially useful for book reviews).

As the developer of ZebraScan I believe in giving users the most freedom by providing fast access to relevant Google search resuls. For most products, reviews and price comparisions are easily available to be read directly at the store before you buy.

If necessary Nokia could partner with Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc... to provide the backend search and other features. This could generate revenue by having advertisers (product manufacturers) pay for having the products added to a database of information. Advertisers would NOT be allowed to control content, only their product information etc...
This would be great for shopping as it would allow people to quickly scan a product on the store shelf and find out more information (which is often contained inside the packaging) that they might need to know about (product reliability, product reviews, etc...). Seems like the fact that Nokia has the Barcode reader built in is a big advantage over some other phones that don't.
