I've just started to get into QR codes a bit. In case you don't know what they are, they are a visual hyperlink emblem that can be scanned by any modern smart phone/device equipped with a camera and a program for scanning.
I use ScanLife, but I hear that QuickMark is also a good one, as is the one made by Kaywa (they have a service that let's you create your own QR codes, should you need them for marketing material). All of these apps are readily available from the application store of choice for your device.
I think this is the way of the future. Soon, URLs won't be used on marketing publication materials, instead the ubiquitous QR code will begin to appear on all media be it print, TV or billboard style. I even heard that they've been used successfully on the sides of buildings to advertise the commercial space as available with all of the terms/costs.
Grab an app for BlackBerry, any android device, iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad and give it a try:
How fucking sweet was that?
Using QR Codes?

LMAO great choice of link.
You are completely correct about this being the way of the future.
In the advertising biz this is one of the current hot topics (since RFID has kinda skulked quietly into the night). Expect to see even SaskTel jumping on this bandwagon - which usually means that the technology is completely ubiquitous.
I find it hard to believe that no one else on this site has gone to the link that Kyro provided. And least of all if they did, not comment. I thought there was more tech around here.
I am saddened by this...
