New internet link from Mobile Camera Phones

When David Foster-Lyons signed an agreement for his company to sell and license the PaperClick™ Internet-linking technology and the portfolio of Intellectual Properties and patents from NeoMedia Technologies, Inc., of the U.S., the London-based entrepreneur and managing director of Big Gig Strategies simply couldn't contain his enthusiasm.

The PaperClick for Camera Cell Phones™, available first for the Nokia® 3650 camera phone, reads UPC/EAN and other bar codes through the camera to link the user quickly and directly to corresponding the Web site or information.

"I've tracked PaperClick for several years, believing all it needed to be incredibly successful was the right device to unleash its amazing power," said Foster-Lyons. "Now that device is here - the mobile/cell picture phone! This happened by chance, much like the mobile text market in Europe emerged almost overnight to become a $42 billion 'mistake'. I believe PaperClick for Camera Cell Phones will be bigger than text messaging!"
