NFC Demoed on iPhone

Near-field communication is barely working its way into niche handsets, let alone the hottest ones out there, but a research project out of the Oslo School of Archietecture and Design has a working prototype of RFID working on an iPhone. With a simple wave, the iPhone screen shows videos related to real-world objects. It might just be a study scenario, but it certainly acts as a proof of concept, and capitalizes nicely on the iPhone’s generous screen. Good luck getting Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) to integrate such a sensor into the device any time soon, but it could potentially work as a third-part peripheral.
