Some time ago we wrote about Scanbuy and their deal with Samsung which agreed to pre-install ScanLife 2D barcode app on its camera phones. Now we have another handset maker joining the wave – South Korean LG, now the third largest mobile phone maker in the world.
The first device with Scanbuy’s app pre-installed is KF310 and it’s already available in Spain. Additional phones will be introduced in other markets over the coming months.
Commenting on the announcement, Scanbuy’s CEO Jonathan Bulkeley said: “We are thrilled to announce this agreement with LGE. Their support will substantially assist in bringing 2D barcode technology to mobile subscribers around the world. Mobile data usage is increasing exponentially every day, and the ScanLife solution will make it easier than ever to discover and navigate to content from anywhere.”
As a reminder, Scanbuy’s ScanLife mobile application uses mobile phone’s camera to read all major 2D barcode formats which immediately connect the user to mobile content and information.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
