Japanese carrier Softbank has responded to complaints about the iPhone 4′s NFC deficit — the FeliCa payment system is pretty popular over in the land of sumo, sushi and sun-rising — by introducing a new “seal” for the back of Apple’s latest and greatest. It sticks on, covering almost the entire rear, but is apparently thin enough not to get in the way of using one of Apple’s own Bumpers alongside it. From our reading of the press release, the sticker doesn’t actually communicate with the iPhone, it’s just a dumb NFC card.
Englezii l-au numit dumb NFC deoarece nu permite interactiunea cu alte chip-uri de acest gen sau citirea unor coduri NFC, insa este un inceput pentru utilizatorii de iPhone. Se estimeaza ca Apple va implementa aceasta tehnologie in viitoarele terminale iPhone si probabil in urmatoarea generatie de iPod Touch-uri. Din pacate in Romania tehnologia NFC e departe de a fi implementata la scara larga asa ca pentru noi nu va conta foarte mult daca terminalul iPhone are sau nu asa ceva.
