Very cool, good find!

 

[brotherswing]

Cool, yes, but swapping the sd card all the time would be a hassle.

Then you're going to need a faraday cage for a phone case so people can't come up to you and scan your NFC phone.

You don't have to swap sdcards, the nfc sdcard has storage too.

I figured it would be like the Eyefi for cameras.

I'm lost what is nfc

 

[cammykool]

Nfc is what allowed you to ' pay with your phone when you see a nfc scanner. You open the App and put your phone in front of the scanner and bam. Groceries paid for

No thanks

Near Field Communication. Like bluetooth, but shorter range and not as reliable. How useful!

Lol! We all need crappy bluetooth to make bluetooth to look good

A couple of things:

Pro-- You don't need to protect your phone from people carrying scanners, the NFC chip only activates when you press a button on your phone to use it.

Con-- I personally won't use it till there is more security built in to prevent someone from finding/stealing my phone and using the NFC to make purchases. Something stronger than a PIN would be necessary IMHO.

Con-- I probably wouldn't suggest using NFC on a rooted phone at this time. A malicious app/webpage script could conceivably gain access to the NFC system on a rooted phone.

Fix those two cons, and I would definitely use NFC to pay for my burger and fries.

I'm accustomed to being a good three years behind the cutting edge of technology. I can wait.
