Very true Ralph I have a Nokia classic - small screen - small data plan - when away I tried to access Gmail and it was hard work and I managed to answer one email. Maybe iPhone with the larger screen and virtual keypad. I am thinking of a Tablet but the OS are evolving. A low cost one with Android 2.2 was said to really need 2.3. Banks want us to do banking on mobiles. Looking at iPads etc the browser seems to handle web pages ok - just keep them slim Maybe I need to re-hash mine Ron Lankshear -Sydney NSW (from London-Shepherds Bush/Chiswick) try my links http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lankshear/ On 2011-07-22 6:10 AM, Ralph Taylor wrote: > I'm not an expert; I use my cell phone only to make and receive calls.

From what I'm reading at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code it looks like a good use would be on a brochure at the library or local society. Someone could just scan the QR Code and their device would take them to your site. I don't know that there would be a big need for one on a website. You can have human readable links there.
