Final Draft of Smartphone Portal Sign for Review

We are getting closer and closer to launching our Smartphone Portals at different locations throughout the county.  Here is the final draft.  Tell us what you think of its design and information provided.  Its size is 11" x 17".  You can actually test these codes from your computer by scanning them with your phone's free barcode scanner application right here.  However, the codes will be easier to scan in person because they will be larger and more "scanable" with your phone. 

Popular FREE QR Code apps include "Barcode Scanner" for Android phones such as Motorola Droid, HTC, etc.  Newer Blackberry models have a "scan group barcode" preinstalled in Blackberry Messenger.  Other Blackberry models can use apps such as Beetag and ScanLife.  There are tons of Smartphones on the market from the iPhone to Nokias to Motorolas and many in between.  Do a quick Internet search for your phone + a barcode scanner app and you'll likely discover hundreds of app reviews. 

If you have something other than an Android type phone or Blackberry, it may take a minute to find and download a free app, but these codes are catching on quickly in the US.  We'll likely see more and more of this technology used as a form of quick and accurate information.
