Good idea, poor execution Sprint

I just caught this ad in the latest Wired and since I\’m the proud owner of a new Nexus S I was intrigued by the highlighted apps. The problem was when I went to get them …

Instead of using the standard QR code which works with the android barcode reader, Sprint decided to use scanlife which means I need to download an app before I can even respond to what I\’d being suggested.  The mention to download scanlife is quite small and noted via an asterisk … lame.

Let\’s keep it simple … unless you really don\’t want consumers involved.
