Anyone with an uncrippled phone knows how handy Bluetooth is, but the experiance isn’t really that intuitive. “What is your Bluetooth ID?” and “The passcode is 1234,” shouldn’t have to be how we talk about technology. The next version of Bluetooth that incorporate NFC (near field communication) will make it as easy as touching two devices to transmit files, but Sony Ericsson is trying something even more interesting.
Imagine your friend is standing right in front of you. He touches a file with his finger and flicks it in your directions. Your device then asks you if you accept the file and boom it appears on your handset. Sounds like something out of Star Trek, but actually it is a Swedish-Japanese innovation.
