What us a few years ago seemed like science fiction a reality is almost complete thanks to mobile devices. NFC chips already allow us to make payments, and more devices synchronized with a single “click”. A technology with many opportunities which is becoming closer.

Still not a reality to capacity, there is no service in our country in which to make payments (Google Wallet) and the NFC is perhaps still a little green for this very reason. But we doubt that the future is very likely that words used in everyday life its goodness. And if you want to know practical examples of how we can use, Sony gives us a few más.Y not support that does not have this great technology. Large companies are dipping into their development and adaptation, but there is a mixture of ignorance and distrust of the technology that does not benefit at all. And above this value only practical examples. It’s what you can see and touch what is to stop convincing people.

And Visa, Google, RIM and many others support this technology, Sony is not trying to escape. And it has created an interesting system consisting of the so-called Smartags, a kind of llaveritos NFC chip to suit all situations of our daily lives. An example of how you can serve the NFC chips for many more applications than the simple payment.

In a promotional video, Sony shows us the possibilities of Smartags along with recently introduced its newest handset, the Xperia S. In it we can see how each situation we have a configuration needs of our different terminal, if we’re home, at work, or go by car. For something as simple as they passed the terminal of one of these Smartags, we could do that automatically switches to a profile or another.

Something that is transferable to many situations and practical options. This is just a sample of the potential impact of this technology beyond what has made it more popular, as is the payment. The integration of these chips either in cars, shop windows or in products has great potential.

And not limited to the terminals with integrated NFC. As soon as Android mobile to iPhone will be able to integrate these chips come without factory already in place. With housing in the case of iPhone, and microSD card in the case of Android, you can enjoy the benefits of a technology that has come to stay. From Monet’s hand, these accessories will be available shortly. A great idea to stop spreading this technology. And at a reasonable price, about $ 30 in the case of microSD and $ 80 housing for iPhone.

NFC has a long road ahead, but certainly we’re definitely looking forward to land around here and we can prove the potential. And glad to see the commitment of large manufacturers with NFC, although I think there’s much to see and be developed. You who do you think? Do you think an alternative future?
