>Do any of you really whip out your smart phone, load a QR Code reading app, and scan the QR code Yup, for me it's swipe-up-left to scan a QR code as an alternative to swipe-right to unlock. I've timed it, it's 7 seconds from phone in pocket to loading the URL. It's at least 20 for typing out a simple URL. I find them very useful as a way to do deep-linking in print media. For instance, I was in a store, best buy I think, and wanted to check the specs and reviews of an item. There was a QR code on the price label, so in just a couple seconds I was on the product page looking at the info I wanted. The alternative would have been to google for the product number and click a result, or go to the best-buy website and search it there. Until I can touch a link in the real world and have it load on my phone, I'll keep using QR codes.
