"Weird" avatars?

[George Farmer]

I've noticed a few UKAPS members with "weird" avatars. What's the story, please? I'm curious!

These are bar codes, if you have a phone with a bar code reader these avatars point to URLs or have a text message on them.

For example the one you posted above points to:

My iPhone bar code reader fails to focus on them properly on the laptop screen... I was trying it out the other day...

What do you expect from an iPhone? My HTC Desire has no problems even from my 12" screen laptop!

Haha there are more pros than cons going to a Desire than sticking with an iPhone not to mention superior hardware, but then again there are always the apple fanatics out there
