The company has just announced its AT&T Code Scanner application and its AT&T Create-a-Code service. Code Scanner is a free app for BlackBerry and Android devices that scans both 2D (QR and datamatrix) and 1D (UPC and EAN) barcodes. You can get it from the BlackBerry App World or the Android Market or by going to http://scan.mobi/ on your mobile device.
The app works similarly to other barcode scanning apps like ShopSavvy or RedLaser, letting you focus in and scan a code at will.
However, the more interesting part of the app comes via the menu options, which includes a direct link to AT&T's Create-a-Code site (accessible via desktop or mobile), where you can create a QR code for contacts or for a web page. You can sign up for a free account with AT&T and create up to five codes that will be set to last for one year. You can then download the QR codes in PNG or EPS formats.
