Japan takes the lead again for a fairly easy mobile implementation…Japanese mobile phone users have had the ability to scan barcodes and buy the corresponding product from Amazon for a while now, but now Amazon has extended it to its affiliate program. “Amazon Mobile Associate Program” is a suite of services for placing Amazon ads on wireless websites and getting some commission based on relevant sales.

I also like the idea of converting a normal associate link to a QR Code and selling products that way — not very practicable but a good example of how people innovate when companies don’t meet their needs.
