Your iPhone 3G contains a hidden code


An iPhone user in Australia was playing around with his camcorder's NightShot mode (which can see through some materials), when he found that behind the rear plastic clamshell is a DataMatrix 2D barcode.

Engadget suspects the barcode is the handset's IMEI and serial numbers.

If you have the ability to see and scan your handset's barcode, let us know what information it contains with a comment below!

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
