It's a matter of time until RFID or other solutions are cost-effective enough that we just roll our shopping carts through the door and our wipe our NFC phones across a scanner. Faster still. NFC or some other technology as Apple is probably sandbagging on NFC until they can figure out a way to offer an NFC equivalent that requires lock-down opt-in by vendors and they charge for it. Good luck with that.
- bcoates 13y agoNFC seems like a solution in search of a problem to me. What does it accomplish that QR codes or any other optical scan technology doesn't?
