NFC is going to be an essential part of your life soon. It’s inside the newest Google, Samsung and BlackBerry phones. But what if you don’t want to upgrade your phone? Or how about that non-NFC tablet you’ve just bought? When’s that getting the wireless treatment? Iota has the answer: NFC tech you wear, so all your gadgets and gizmos can share the NFC love.
From concept bracelets packing a SIM and NFC technology, to a Flex Clip which attaches to pockets, straps and bags, the idea is simple: One wearable gadget holds your NFC payment, travel pass and ticketing information, along with your mobile data connection. All your other devices connect to it through Wi-Fi to share those digital wares.
It’s a smart idea, and means one SIM can service your tablet, phone, MP3 player and laptop, while also offering up NFC abilities without tying them to a specific device.
Oh, and we’re quite taken with Iota’s cutesy designs too. Take a look at the gallery above, and tell us: Will you wear your wireless ID on your wrist?
