Here are some tips:
- use the Image Chart Editor on Google Code - you have to look for the QR Code chart in the gallery. Basically, you send it a URL with the vCard in the querystring and it sends back a QR Code image. Don't forget to url-encode your querystring.
- You don't need to email a vCard to iPhone, it can read them directly from a QR Code with the right app.
- I tried a few different QR Code readers for iPhone and most of them sucked at parsing vCards. The best that i found was Qrafter, and it's free.
- I used Barcode Scanner on Android.
- Android didn't want to accept a URL, so I put it in the NOTE as well. Any tips?
- With Blackberry 6, use AppWorld, hit the menu, then choose Scan a barcode.
- Blackberry can't read vCards directly from a QR Code, but you can qr-code a URL that returns a vCard. You'll want to send back this PHP header: header("Content-type:text/x-vcard");
Young, bored, and know Java? Please write a decent QR code reader for blackberry :)
