You can also download this as a PDF.

My ID: http://id.kaywa.com/roger

The ID is very basic for now, but it has already one pay off. If you have a Kaywa or a moblog.ch (free), you just have to add your normal URL. If you scan your personal QR Code, you get then automagically the link to the mobile version of your blog.

Update: And most importantly, you get your own personal QR Code with it. We will soon provide a PDF solution, so that you can also print the code. Usage scenarios: business cards, personal stamps, etc.

As we want to show several possibilities with the Kaywa Reader (in early softlaunch), we also point to a commercial SMS example (not related to Kaywa) in the Tryout Zone.

Now I downloaded it and it comes down to this:
CHF 3.- for the Real Tune
CHF 2.- for the download of 200 KB (as long as you don't have a flatrate)
CHF 5.- in total for a very short listining pleasure of 29 seconds.


You can find the QR Code for this Realtune (Crazy, Gnarls Barkley) below:

Kyle discovered the Kaywa Reader before tomorrow's launch. And I found instead the i-mode simulator on his site;)

First mobile commerce solution with secure payment via Visa cards in the European market

Visa Europe, Cornèr Bank and Telekurs Multipay joined forces to introduce the first 'Verified by Visa' security solution for mobile commerce in Europe. The new Europe-wide solution enables Visa cardholders from Cornèr Bank to pay their purchases at mobile shops with their card via their mobile phones. As a result, the entire buying process can now be conducted securely via the mobile phone. Participating in the Secure Mobile Commerce solution are also sunrise, CREALOGIX, Arcot as well as Datatrans, the co-initiator of the mobile payment project with Cornèr Bank.

Well there is a lot going on in this sector and Visa, Corner Bank and partners will not remain the only ones in this field. And let's not forget Paypal Mobile and Google Checkout.
