I am doing a project at the moment on how technology will change medical education in the future- this is one of my examples, if all goes to plan we'll be placing these inside textbooks to link out to video and audio so students can HEAR the heart sound and VIEW the procedure, rather than relying on text and images. So there's one real world use already hopefully.

Otherwise I agree with others that this will be good for advertisements for bands and restuarants.

My view for them in the future will be in the dying days of physical media, these codes appear on the back of CDs and snapping them allows a three day trial of the CD or alternatively gives the user a trailer before they buy or links to the official site of the band/movie. Sort of like how Zunes can share music for a limited number of plays this would allow me a sample on my device in my own time- then I'll consider purchase.
