Scanning barcodes with the NeoReader™ application
About scanning with the NeoReader™ application
Use your device as a barcode scanner to find out more about items you scan. For example, you see a coat in a magazine ad and want to find the nearest retail outlet to buy it. If the ad contains a readable barcode, the NeoReader™ application uses this code to access mobile web content, such as a web page with more product information or a map of nearby outlets. NeoReader™ supports most standard barcode types.

For example, when you connect your headset or headphones, you can set an event so that the following actions are launched on your device:
•Between 7am and 9am, when you commute to work, the WALKMAN player starts, and the web browser opens the morning paper. The ring volume is set to vibrate.
•Between office hours, a conference call app opens on your device.
•On the way back from work, the FM radio starts, and a notes app with your shopping list opens.
