Scott, I don't get this. I must be dumb :-)
Is ISO 14443 a proprietary "twonkie"? Exactly how do YOU suggest that new HW technology should be established? A bunch of happy guys with soldering irons and a few thousands bucks get togther and make it in open? To yawn at Phillips, Samsung and Nokia is really dangerous. The other mentioned RF technologies have not yet become industry standards and some of them will fail. But NFC seemt to have a unique "value proposition" that actually does not have a single real competitor.

Given any k companies from a set of N in an industry, they will form a forum to declare their proprietary twonkies to be the industry standard. Yawn.

Only a universal technology like this is likely to become a truly standard item in personal computers. _______________________________________________ Muscle mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/muscle _______________________________________________ Muscle mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/muscle _______________________________________________ Muscle mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/muscle
