Nokia and Abaxias just launched Mobile Tag.

The service let you generate a “tag” (other would call it a code, or 2D code) that contains your personal information: Firstname, lastname, phone number, email address:

You can actually generate as much of those as you want.

You can then connect to your account on the web. There you can access informations like how many times your code was access, create and edit codes (sorry tags), generates the tag in various format…

They say there is two kinds of tags: Contact tag and web tag. Does not look like a random user like me can generates the second kind of tag from their web interface!

The reader installed on the phone is really amazing!

I must have all code reader installed on my phone now… so here is a few facts:
– Semacode reader can decode Mobile Tag
– Mobile Tag reader can not decode QR code (like the one on Ichiba)
– Mobile Tag reader decode semacode but does not recognize the tag

Mobile Tag encode a number. When shooting the code, the soft contact a server to fetch the content related to that number. From their website: MobileTag uses an european ISO standard called DataMatrix (QR-code + Toku number).

The reader can be downloaded on the web or just point your mobile browser to mobiletag.com/download
