The Microsoft Tag Application

   

Posted by Travis Lelle at 4th March, 2010

Today - Microsoft has released it’s Microsoft Tag App for Android. This app has been around for quite some time for Windows Mobile now. Microsoft Tag codes are similar to QR codes that you see under some of these articles and other phone websites, but the MS Tags can hold more information. The problem is: When everyone is finally getting comfortable with QR codes, Microsoft has to go and set yet another standard, and of course, expect people to adapt to it. In order to read the codes, you need to download the Microsoft Tag Reader - and the program cannot even scan QR codes - so it is only useful with MS Tags. Hopefully in the near future, we’ll begin to see these technologies begin to meld together a bit, but until then - you can always look to AndroidTrek.com to bring you the latest in Android News Updates.
