Make your own barcodes with a free barcode generator.
Most barcode
generator sites make barcodes for URL's, contact information, phone numbers, and
text. But several sites are making barcodes for linking to a YouTube video,
or
connecting with different social network sites like Facebook and MySpace. You
can now put your own barcodes on t-shirts and other items. There's a lot of
different application for the barcode, and more will be available soon.

QR Droid/Zapper Scanner (*makes and reads QR code)
QR Droid reads: Android (v2.0 or greater)
Zapper Scanner reads: iPhone (iOS 4.0 or greater)
I really like the Zapper Scanner, and I suspect the Droid version is just as good. You can also make all kinds of barcodes right from the app on your phone... it's very slick! This is a fully automatic QR code reader, in that you open the app and point it at the barcode and "zap" it reads it and executes the desired action.
I'm going to play with it a bit more, and I honestly believe it may be the best QR code reader I've tried.
