Nokia RFID Phone Supports NFC
The new Nokia 3220 RFID phone supports near field communication (NFC), which allows users to receive information by tapping the product against an NFC-enabled advertisement, for instance.
According to ZDNet UK:
NFC is effectively an authentication mechanism that sets up a wireless connection so that information can be transmitted to a mobile handset.
A Nokia representative demonstrated that when a 3220 phone with the NFC shell attached is tapped against an NFC-enabled advert, a URL linking to a page with further information about the advert is received by the handset.
Other applications for NFC include swapping electronic business cards between phones, and using a phone to check in at an airport or hotel.
