Yeah apple have done great things, that's why they don't appear to be
correcting
The issue with the loss of signal on the iPhone 4, when it's is held in a
left hand and the signal is lost.
When they fix this issue, they'll sell a lot more.

Maybe an RFID reader will come in the next iPhone or some other idevice. I
think it is just amazing what Apple has done with these devices thus far. I
personally would like to see some sort of haptic feedback so we can get a
tactual sense of icons and controls. I know Apple is working on this.
Patents have been filed by Apple regarding methods for haptic feedback.

Doug, I think this was something APple had explored and may eventually
do. Apple has all sorts of ideas floating about. :) On Jul 12, 2010, at

No RFID reader in iPhone 4 as far as I can tell. My knowledge is limited
on this subject as well. It may depend on the scanner being used.

Hey Doug,
We are probably straying a bit off topic for the list, but to answer
your question, I really do not know. It may be for capturing information
about a specific product, you would have to get pretty close. The distances
you refer too is more useful for warehouses, dockyards, and such. I am not
sure if the ability to read is based on the scanner or the RFID tag itself.
So, I think you can pretty much figure my knowledge is quite limited, other
than what I read. I do not know when Apple might put these readers in the
phone, but I thought it was to be included in version 4, but that I believe
did not happen yet.

That's interesting, RFID would be much better for identifying products
because you would not have to point a device at the product in question to
identify it. Just get a reader in the general direztion of the of the
product and we should be able to identify it. As I understand it, the range
of RFID is quite large, something in the range of 30 feet. How do we
determine a product when we have a number of products in one area, a covert
full of cans and bottles, each presenting a signal that has a 30 foot
radius?

Doug,
I do not know how many products have them now, but I suspect more than
we know. For example, I recently learned that the recycle bins our county
provides us has a RFID chip imbedded in them. Apparently the data collected
from the chips let's the county know how often we put the bins out. RFID
chips are being used more now because of the speed and ability to collect
data on products being shipped and received, etc.
