The popular clothing retailer H&M will be offering a high-tech new service where consumers can make purchases with their cell phones. If you happen to be flipping through a mag and see a hot dress by H&M or you want those jeans from a billboard ad, just take a pic of the black and white Semacode bar on the ad with your phone. The code will allow access to H&M's product catalog where products can be purchased and charged to the user's account. This is what I call shopping made easy— just make sure you know your size! via Gizmodo

9This is so cool! I've heard about those Semacodes being used in Asian countries; I keep wondering why it hasn't caught on more.

20This kind of technology has been in japan for SOOOOO long now.....I guess they didn't want to share?
21that is so cool! this has been in Japan for a long time?! whoa! i need to go there and see what else we are missing out on!
