Popular barcode-scanning, comparison shopping iPhone app RedLaser has just been updated with support for QR code scanning.

eBay-owned RedLaser released the new version of the application earlier this morning, also piping in eBay and Half.com listings for product barcode scans — a nice bonus of the June acquisition.

RedLaser has already been downloaded more than 5 million times, making it perhaps the most mainstream user-friendly barcode scanning app on the market. Now that RedLaser possesses QR code scanning capabilities there’s no need for app users to download a separate application or go elsewhere for their QR scanning needs.

Plus, more than 100 application makers have used the RedLaser SDK to integrate barcode scanning functionality into their application experience. That SDK is also getting a makeover, courtesy of eBay, to allow for even more options like VIN barcode scanning and gift card scanning.

QR codes are on the verge of becoming a breakout trend in the U.S. In 2010, we’ve already seen a number of creative QR code marketing campaigns, brand initiatives and paper product replacements. With QR code support, RedLaser will play conduit between brand and consumer.

My Favorite Animal

Our teacher asked us what our favorite animal was, and I said, “Fried
chicken.” She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right,
everyone else in the class laughed.

My parents told me to always be truthful and honest, and I am. Fried
chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my
teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals and don’t understand real people. I love animals, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef.

Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal’s office. I told him what
happened, and he laughed too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal
was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, just like she’d asked
the other children. So I told her it was because you could make them into
fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal’s office again. He
laughed, and told me not to do it again.

I don’t understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher
doesn’t like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what
famous person we admire most.

I told her, “Colonel Sanders”.

Guess where I am now…
