And something Apple is unlikely to ever support since they're going with their own proprietary iBeacon protocol which is based on Bluetooth.Lowe Energy: http://gigaom.com/2013/09/10/with-ibeacon-apple-is-going-to-dump-on-nfc-and-embrace-the-internet-of-things/ Main difference is range and cost - iBeacon is higher in both. From a security standpoint, I don't think that's good news. There are already plenty of attacks against NFC that are ultimately limited because you have to get within a few centimeters of the chip. If that range is now tens of meters with iBeacon, it's a whole new class of problem. - Brian On Sat, Sep 21, 2013 at 1:38 AM, Naushad Zulfiqar z00...@gmail.com wrote: Near field communications It's basically a non contract or light touch method of exchanging data.

Re: [H] iOS 7
Thanks List, I wiki'd NFC this AM and got these 3 sorta techie hits: * Near field communication http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_field_communication, a wireless communication technology * Nintendo Family Computer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Family_Computer, the Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System video game console * Network File Control http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_Control, a networking technology I sorta figured in might be the 1st one. Reminds me of the Phillips Petro key-fob thinky of way back when. Aware that Starbucks is still trying to get this to work also. Yes, Brian, I get that Apple will 'rename it' and claim they invented it. Fine. Just marketing wars. Ho-Hum. :) I will read your link and wise-up to perhaps a future IBeacon! Jeez, I am still happy building 'white boxes' personally!

IOS7 good: function seems to be nice, control center seems to be nice. Bad: my battery life on my Ipad4 has went to total shit. I'll have to figure that out, that's going to kill me. Dislike the folder popout; now instead of filling screen it's a smaller box that ou have to scroll to get all the items of. Dislike that idea. Icons kind of goofy/rainbow bright like.

Re: [H] iOS 7
NFC can be used to simplify your life. I have a NFC tag right on my nightstand near my bed which sets my phone to silent and a whole host of other things so that it doesn't bother me at night. No need to futz around with settings. I also have a NFC Tag in the bathroom and near my door which sets it to my daily profile. A NFC tag in on my office table that sets it to my desired settings in the office. NFC payments is about the only way I haven't used NFC. Scanning NFC from passports or other things is cool, but alas, most are encrypted. :) On Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 10:56 PM, Anthony Q.

And that's what I don't like about Apple it makes people think that Apple has invented this feature while that is not necessarily the case. What's wrong with that, the consumer still benefits. Either way it really doesn't matter in the end I think that what Apple is doing pushes the mobile industry forward regardless of how they may copy other people. The iPhone started it all, the 'screw the carrier' restricted bullsh*t here's a phone that actually does things! Now we have ios/android in the lead and blackberry on the way out which is great from where I stand. Indian the real winner is the consumer and that's what matters the most. ^ -- Bryan G. Seitz
