Nokia's NFC phones - Touch to command.
- mattyfo 18y agoThis is pretty cool, it seems a lot of developments in the wireless world has approached things from a macro level (whole networks) but what about the micro (a room full of cellphones)? I.E. my cellphone can connect me to all sorts of things out there in the "cloud' but what about what's in front of me?
- jcl 18y agoI hope there's some requirement that the phone be open or a button pushed before the phone transfers data. Otherwise it seems like it would be easy for someone to steal data on a crowded subway.
- DenisM 18y agoawesome. security & setup is greatest hindrance for wireless, and this makes it intuitive
- umangjaipuria 18y agoHehe.. technology is finally getting touchy feely! :) But I'm not sure how much a value-add this is over bluetooth which, although a tad slow, serves the purpose of short range communication for things like printing, sharing photos, business cards, etc. Good thing is that a "touch" might serve as an indication of willingness to communicate and removes the need to press buttons as well as the initial handshake - for really specific applications like using coupons, or payments or to find out details about a product from its tag.
