Here's what happens on a HTC Hero when you scan in that barcode...
Here I am scanning the QR code with my mobile...
Here is my phone finding the correct URL...
And then there is a very long wait while the file downloads (arduously) using mobile Internet rather than WiFi. (I am not using WiFi as I can't guarantee end users will always have access to WiFi when scanning the barcodes). I hunted around and discovered that Soundcloud also have a dedicated mobile site. I therefore created a short-URL (using bit.ly) and a QR code for the same piece of Sonic Wallpaper using the mobile site:
...and then I watched this loading image for quite a long time; over 10 minutes; and no sign of the file playing or displaying correctly.
I wonder why the link to the mobile site doesn't work so well when I try to access it with, ur, my mobile? Any tech assistance here would be greatly appreciated.
