What other formats are coming soon? And how soon?
At the end of the Quick Help feature in the Windows Mobile Tag Reader client I find the following text:
"This version of Mirosoft Tag Reader can read the following barcode formats: Microsoft Tag, More formats coming soon...."
What formats are you thinking about here? (Semacode? QR Code? Other?)
And when could/would "soon" be?
"This version of Mirosoft Tag Reader can read the following barcode formats: Microsoft Tag, More formats coming soon...."

Inappropriate?I would like to see QR as an alternative, but I want a working J2ME client for AT&T phones first!
I’m amused

Inappropriate?This is just a boilerplate reaction. Is there any chance of actually answering the question?
It's ok if the answer it "no additional formats are actually planned yet", "we are working on (#) format(s), but we cannot tell you what they are yet or when to expect them", or (preferably) "QR codes are expected from Q3 2009" or something specific like that, but preferably it actually is an answer to the question and not just a copy-paste answer.
If you are not serious about user participation, then why have a presence on a site like GetSatisfaction?
I’m waiting... ;-)

We are most definatly serious about user participation! :-) We have a suggestion and feedback form on our site where you can submit your thoughts, experiences, and ideas to us directly.
The link to our site is: http://www.microsoft.com/tag/content/...
We honestly appreciate the feedback we get from our customers and clients. Microsoft products are great because of the people who use them and voice their ideas to us. As a member of our Support Team, I hope to see feedback from you soon! -
Inappropriate?I agree with PeSHIr. If you are just posting boilerplate reactions, why even bother with GetSatisfaction, which is designed for actual engagement with your community. Not adhering to real engagement will just piss everyone off.
I would be curious about QR tags. From my experience, these are the most popular, and there are many tag readers out there that read QR. Nobody wants to be required to have a slew of tag readers on their phones, so I suggest that MSFT add QR tags to the list of formats it can read.
With QR tag support, many more people will download your app, and then will subsequently find out about the Microsoft Tag Service, which is where you plan to monetize this service anyway. It only makes sense. One tag reader for all existing tags.
I hope I don't get a boilerplate response as to if/when this is planned.
I’m frustrated and curious

Inappropriate?If the MS team can get QR and DataMatrix working I would love them forever, especially since the iPhone lacks a decent reader for either of them. I'm certain people on other devices would love to have a single reader as well.
I’m waiting patiently
-
you can try use quickmark in iphone -
Second the comment above, QuickMark works great for the iPhone and scans QR and Data Matrix. -
Inappropriate?I also hope the Tag Reader will read QR-codes and Datamatrix so the general public doesn't have to know about the difference between QR-codes, Datamatrix and Microsoft Tag - it'll all just work.
I've experienced QR-Codes and Microsoft Tag and the latter works better. The camera in my HTC phone can take a sharp picture of a QR-code but the i-nigma reader for my PDA does not "focus" the camera. You can set Microsoft Tag Reader to "use snap mode" which allows you to take a photo using the built in tools of the camera (flash, focus).
But now comes the good part: Microsoft Tag doesn't need focus to read Microsoft Tags. Works great! I've also tested a QR-code with less information in it since Microsoft Tag only stores a webaddress and will fetch the rest of the information online but Microsoft Tag still performed better for me.
But since there are a lot of QR-codes out there already I'd appreciate it if the general public does not have to look which kind of code they're looking at and then start an appropriate reader :-)
Analytics (however basic) is included and can easily be improved. In addition to free text "notes" for a tag, allow an option to (free-form) label a tag with the publication mechanism "Magazine, Poster, Billboard, Newspaper or Website" and make reporting available for that. The "notes" can then be used to put a reminder for specifics like which magazine, poster, billboard, whitepaper or whatever the code was used for.
I’m confident

I believe this is a must. I am looking at rolling out 2D barcodes on our products and I do not want people to have to use use/have multiple readers on their phone to decode. For me to adopt Microsoft Tag as our standard the reader must decode QR, Data matrix and EZ codes. -
Inappropriate?quickmark ( qr-code and datamatrix ) has taking a sharp picture and auto focus mode for HTC phone.
-
Inappropriate?How does that help Microsoft Tag Reader exactly?
I'll reply here but won't be surprised if our two posts were to be marked as inappropriate as they have nothing to do with Microsoft Tag Reader.
I remember crossing by the QuickMark side to take it for testrun for my article but the download of the reader required to create a login so I didn't do it.
