Hi Michael,

The European i-mode handsets (ie: all non-Japan i-mode handsets) do not
have QR code readers yet, and there is currently no common barcoding
system available for use by the general mobile consumer outside of Japan
afaik.

I'm not sure it would work outside Japan yet anyway, as the rest of the 
world
is still quite a way behind in terms of acceptance and use of mobile 
content.
That said, when it does become available, it should boost mobile content
offerings and ease-of-use substantially.   Fingers crossed.

Best Regards,
Neale Rudd
