QuickMark v3.8.3 for the iPhone is an update to fix the following issues:

• Fix incorrect URL bug
• Allow Move & Scale for Take Photo method

Google has sent window decals with unique QR codes to over 100,000 local businesses in the United States - the "Favorite Places on Google." To promote the usage of these decals, Google & QuickMark have partnered to offer free QuickMark downloads for iPhone, for the first 40,000 downloads starting today Monday, December 7.

By scanning the QR code on the decal of any Favorite Place, you'll be taken to that business's page on your phone, where you can read reviews, get a coupon, star the business as a favorite and more. To learn more, visit google.com/favoriteplaces.

Have you ever wanted to keep track of where you have spent your money but always seems to forget? Or do you often find interesting products or books that you want to research later but can not quite find the exact one when you get home? Well, if you have a recent smartphone, a solution may not be far away.

A simple way to keep such records is by creating lists that reference to specific items by their barcode numbers. Just install the latest QuickMark application and start scanning away. Your scanned barcodes can be uploaded to our [QuickList] web service for further applications.

Using QuickList is very straight forward, here we will use the QuickList standalone app for the Android platform (hTC Magic) as an example:

[I am VIP] is an iPhone application for managing your membership cards (or any card that uses a 1D barcode for user identification). Simply scan the 1D barcode of your membership card with [I am VIP] to create a virtual card in your iPhone.

The next time you need to use your membership card, launch [I am VIP] on your iPhone and the app will display the required barcode on the phone's screen for the store to scan! Lessen the load of your wallet and have fun being a VIP!

NOTES:

• It is not guaranteed that all stores will accept this method for user authentication.
• Some barcode scanners may not be able to pick up the barcodes displayed on the iPhone's screen
