Possibly a hidden Ad Campaign?[edit]

Note that reference 50 leads to http://vitreoqr.com/2014/QR_Code.html a company that CLEARLY is selling QR Codes. We should also note that everyone CAN download the iQR generator from Denso-Wave's website after registering (free): http://www.denso-wave.com/en/adcd/product/software/building/qrdraw-ad.html IMHO, this reference should be changed or removed. I'd put this as the reference instead: http://www.qrcode.com/en/codes/iqr.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.250.154.18 (talk • contribs) 16:32, 4 July 2014

Incorrect citation[edit]

Section: Uses Subsection: Virtual stores Citation [35] for "Walmart, Procter & Gamble and Woolworths have already adopted the Virtual Store concept." neither refers to Walmart nor Proctor & Gamble. Remove Walmart and Proctor & Gamble from this sentence. Also, wonder if this is relevant: shop2mobi.com is for sale.

JAB code[edit]

It seemed to be a stretch to call JAB code a variant, so I moved the whole section to its own page. ~ MD Otley (talk) 01:42, 9 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
