“Overall the interaction between phone and RFID tags has been good. The reader/writer is on the base of the phone, at the bottom. This seems a little awkward to use at first, but slowly becomes natural. When I have given it to others, their immediate reaction is to point the top of the phone to the tag, and nothing happens. There follows a few moments of explaining as the intricacies of RFID and looking at the phone, with it’s Nokia “fingerprint” icon. As phones increasingly become replacements for contactless cards, it seems likely that this interaction will become more habitual and natural.”
Really interesting stuff…
