Microsoft release app for Android – Tag Reader

So apparently Microsoft have released their first app for the Android platform, which is similar to their app for the iPhone – Tag (via Android Community). They’ve also released this same app for BlackBerry, Symbian and J2ME platforms.

Why would they do this? It’s not like their app is a better version of a bar code reader than existing apps available on either platforms. Some could argue that they wanted to get a feel for the experience of developing for that platform – maybe, but they wouldn’t have to necessarily reveal themselves as Microsoft to do that?

I say – it’s a conspiracy – the apps surely has some kind of mind read capability that reports your non-Microsoft thoughts back to their HQ. What else could it be?
