Nokia Selects NeoReader For Star Trek QR Code

Nokia has selected NeoMedia's NeoReader as the preferred QR code reading application for their Star Trek mobile code campaign.

Star Trek fans are encouraged to point their phone's browser to get.neoreader.com which will link them to the NeoReader download site. Once the NeoReader code scanning software is installed on their device, fans can scan the QR code which will connect them to mobile content.

This marks the third mobile code promotion between Nokia and NeoMedia Technologies. Due to the overwhelming success of Nokia's past two campaigns with NeoMedia and IQ mobile, mobile code enthusiasts can expect more promotions like this now and into the future.
