iPhones can read as well using programs such as RedLaser.

sorry guys had to say something, this is another trap government is using phone companies to track everything you buy,everything you look up online , What's next cameras in your house? to make sure your a good citizen?

Agree with you blong, I'm not a fan of "plugging in". I'd get rid of my (old and outdated) cell if I wouldn't loose friends over it. Not a fan of this "connected" culture.

I am also an advocate of not-being-plugged-in... But you can control just how plugged in you are. It's easy to make Google adds and such not track your activities, and an Android phone doesn't really make you trackable at all - unless you install such apps with tracking your phone in mind. I'd say that iDrone devices might be a privacy hazard because Apple does deserve the right to collect and keep most info they get over their devices (so they can locate it if it's lost etc); not the case with (core) Android. However, carriers often have custom Android distributions that may or may not collect the extra info. Opening a Facebook/Twitter/G+/MySpace account is much, much more hazardous to your privacy then owning a device. Also, this is really nice: [url:11jmcctv]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_not_track_header[/url:11jmcctv]. I hope it becomes reality. As for this topic, QR images are just binary data in an image format. They have nothing to do with being tracked.
