Get the Weather Channel Android App by Scanning Your TV

Weather Channel Promotes Android App Via QR Code
Now we'd like to see your iPhone (or for that matter, iPad) do this. The Weather Channel promoted its Android app by displaying a QR code (that strange-looking box on the bottom left corner) and a banner instructing owners of the Google-powered handsets to "scan here." Scanning the code would take you straight to the Android Market and the page for the Weather Channel app. Pretty slick, huh?

QR codes have yet to really take off here in America, but it could be simple tricks like pointing your phone to download an app that help the tech gain traction. [From: Engadget]
