QR codes on billboards and in marketing are kind of rubbish On a big billboard beside the freeway, sure. In a home for sale sign, or in a bus shelter, or anywhere else where people are either a) very interested or b) captive, they are fantastic.

The best place I've seen QR codes is on the tube. Because hey, I'mma scan this QR code, and then remember about it when I'm topside.

Indeed. If only it weren't stuck with a slow js interpreter.

yes, chrome on iOS is unsable because of this. I'd love to use Chrome more, but even lightweight js sites are tediously slow on chrome/ios

Nice. I've built a web app that pushes a mobile provisioning profile to iOS devices with your wifi ssid & password - lets people easily jump on your wifi Works with Redlaser only as most QR code readers open web links in a viewport instead of pushing out to safari. http://www.getonmywifi.com

Interesting. I wonder if there's a way for you get around having to actually host the profile, perhaps via some unconscionably long "javascript:" URL that creates the mobileconfig document and "downloads" it. Red Laser doesn't seem to recognize "javascript:..." as an openable URL, but maybe there's a way around that.
