While the adoption of QR codes in some markets has been slow to begin (particularly in markets such as the United States, where competing standards such as [[Data Matrix]] exist), the technology is gaining some traction in the smartphone market. Many Android, Nokia, Blackberry handsets, and the [[Nintendo 3DS]], come with QR code readers installed. QR reader software is available for most mobile platforms. Moreover, there are a number of online QR code generators which enable users to create QR codes for their own needs.
