Paperlinks is a new Android app that gives users a simple interface for accessing interactive mobile content from any QR code or NFC tag in the real world. So far it’s like NFC-enabled ScanLife. In that sense, Paperlinks too automatically scans QR codes (though not barcodes like ScanLife does) without touching a single button on the screen. But that’s not all – Paperlinks also comes with content summaries (where available) and tabs for your scan history.
On the other side of the equation, the platform enables interested companies and brands to create and manage customized QR code, NFC and SMS campaigns through a variety of app-like modules, design features and options for mobile commerce. For instance, the new module called “Order Takeout” helps restaurants create a mobile menu for customers to view, order and pay for takeout all within the app…
Sounds neat, and considering Paperlinks has already some 50,000 customers — including companies like Nestle, House of Blues and Joe’s Jeans — it seems they’re onto something. We’ll see…

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.
