Not one for Bloggin'

Since becoming an Android user I've been making good use of QR codes and Google's Zing barcode scanner.
One of the things I find it useful for is copying links from PC to phone.

Being lazy it began with adding http://zxing.appspot.com/generator/ as a Web Panel in Opera so to always have an QR code generator accessible at all times.

But then that became too much of an effort.

So today I've created a bookmarklet to generate a QR code for the page being viewed that can be launched with only one click.

Simply create a bookmark on your toolbar with the following code rather than an URL so it can be open up a QR code when required.

javascript:(function(){qr_droid=document.createElement('SCRIPT');qr_droid.type='text/javascript';qr_droid.src='http://smallroomstudios.net/qrdroid/qrdroid.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(qr_droid);})();

I'm using it on Android but there are QR Code readers for Android, iPhone, Symbian and most J2ME camera phones.
