RunAmuk writes "Wired is reporting about being able to "Point and click your mobile phone at a poster in London movie theaters this July and you'll be able to directly access the movie's Web page." While there are many practical uses for this technology, like in museums as the article suggests." I'd like to use it at video rental places and CD stores to get product reviews.

    This was interesting, but still rather rough, when I saw it demonstrated at CeBit in 2001. None of the operators were on board, yet. They must have liked what they saw, and jumped on it right away, to get it ready for the public by now. One of the features demonstrated involved sending a bar code to the phone. This bar code would then be your ticket into the movie. That seems like a rather weak security model to me, but who knows.

    I suppose it's neat technology. Although, it's not terribly innovative. Personally, I have little interest in using this, but the consumer-masses may just love it. At least they're putting 3G to some use...
