Near Field Communication
October 28th, 2004NFC. An interesting way for devices to share data, if they are within a few centimeters of one another. Sounds kind of like Bluetooth — which I have still not needed for anything. But I like the vision anyway — if all devices did this it could be very useful — I’ve always wanted to be able to “grab” data by swiping my phone near something I am interested in (without needing a bar code scanner).
