Questions & Answers

Shopper : Can it scan QR codes?TODD H : It can scan standard UPC that is for sure. I used it for my wife's weight loss program. I believe with the newer Android 4.0 (ICS) it has QR reader apps available. This should allow you to scan them. I have not tried directly though. Check out the Android Market Place to see what apps they offer.LARRY W : I have no need thus far to scan QR codes so I don't know. The camera is only on the front side, so it might be difficult to use for that. You can probably download an app. to do it though.ERIC P : The front facing camera can be used to scan QR Codes if you download a QR app from Google Play. You will need a WiFi connection or the 3G Stick for the QR code to take you to the internet to follow most codes.ANDREW R : It's possible in theory, however you would likely need a 3rd party app to perform such tasks. Archos does not specifically indicate this particular functionality.
