What is this? This is a QR Code: a machine-readable image-based code consisting of black and white squares.
QR Codes are typically used for storing URLs and other information for reading by smart devices like smart
phones. When scanned by an appropriate app on your mobile device, you are redirected to the embedded URL of
this page. View this page with one device (desktop or another mobile device), and then scan the QR Code with
your mobile device. This makes it quicker and easier to browse a page discovered on one device on your mobile
device without manually entering the URL in the mobile device browser address bar.

the Apple iTunes App Store on your device.
