With the advancements in technology smart phone users can now sync and transfer data across Android devices without having to subscribe to costly internet data plans. Thanks to the wireless technologies like WiFi, Bluetooth and especially NFC, now smart phones can transfer almost anything between devices be it a tablet or mobile phone with a simple bump. Lucky are those who own NFC enabled Android phones including Google Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. But what about other Android phone users who wish to go along similar lines without an active data connection. The less geeky counterpart to NFC, QR code technology can be handy here.

PasteQR is an Android app that  lets you share, copy and paste clipboard text with other Android users without the need of an internet connection. PasteQR basically creates QR codes for text available in clipboard and then lets you share it with friends on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or have it on your Android phone to show it to other users nearby. The users at the other end can quickly scan the code to extract the text from it that gets stored into their mobile OS clipboard for further use elsewhere.

The app interface is pretty simple where you will find two buttons namely ‘Copy’ and ‘Paste’. But the copy process here includes copying text from clipboard and then creating a QR code that holds it. Whereas paste includes scanning of that QR code that was sent to social networking sites or available on mobile screen. Hit the share button on top to quickly share the generated QR to apps or services already installed on your Android phone. PasteQR is compatible from Android 2.1 and up to the latest Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
