Microsoft has announced plans to collaborate with RFID vendor Sirit
to implement near field communications (NFC) to Windows Mobile.
This “proximity technology” will provide “contactless” payment, secure
access, control of home entertainment systems, and other features
to Windows Mobile devices. NFC technology is already used widely in
Japan, where commuters can purchase train tickets or pay for parking
by waving their phones in front of sensors. A report on NFC conducted
by ABI Research projects that 30 percent of all phones worldwide will
incorporate NFC technology by 2011.
