			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you own a Windows phone and are looking for a way to make shopping a little easier than you need to take a look at RedLaser. It&#8217;s a free application that can scan every kind of barcode under the sun. It can handle UPC, EAN, UPC-E, EAN-8 and QR Code barcodes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barcodes and QR Codes can store a lot of information within themselves. Just like you can store information in these codes, you can also extract information from them. One of the tools that can be used to read barcodes and QR codes is ZBar. It is a free to use tool that has versions for Linux, Windows, and the  iPhone. The program also provides users with its source code, an iPhone  SDK, and Linux binaries. The function of the program is to decode a  barcode from your device&#8217;s camera or through an image stored on your  device. While the iPhone performs this function easily, the Windows and  Linux versions run through a command prompt; the instructions of this  prompt can be read during installation.</p>

<p>Supported barcodes include EAN-13/UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, Code 128, Code 39 and QR Code. Moreover, the barcodes fed to the program are recognized horizontally, vertically, or anywhere on the screen in case of the iPhone.</p>
