Identity and NFC rumors have staffers salivating for iPhone 5
I cannot tell a lie, I am an Apple fanboy. Most of us at AVISIAN Publishing are big fans of Apple products. We use them to write, edit and produce the magazines and Web sites we publish. Most of us also have iPhones and an iPad may be in my future (hint, hint boss).
Even though the iPhone 4 has only been out for a few months, the Apple rumor sites have been filled with predictions for iPhone 5. If near field communication technology isn’t included in that version of the phone it will be shocking as most seem to think it’s a given, though the rumors keep going back and forth on this topic.
Adding NFC and wallet app to the iPhone shouldn’t be that difficult, but more intriguing rumors suggest that the iPhone 5 will use NFC to enable remote computing on select Apple computers.

I was intrigued by the title and just had to read. I soon found my self at the end of the article. With all that I am reading lately its hard to say with 100% certainty whether or not the iPhone 5 with have NFC a RFID or not. I think there will be a lot of disappointed fans if they do not.
The bit about the iPhone Mac communication is astonishing! It really is, and I would like to see that in action. Just imagine you sit down in front of strangers Mac and because your of your iPhone you quickly have all your own apps and settings. Then when you leave it automatically changes back. That's great stuff!
In the past 10 years we have seen so many advances with RFID it will be very cool to see the continued changes over the next 10 years!
