Mobile devices have proven to be juggernauts,destroying countless technological predecessors.
4
The fashion accessory won’t die, but the functional purpose of watches is obsolete.
5
I loved this alarm clock, which would shout, “Wake up! Don’t sleep your life away! MOOOO!” Who needs separate alarm clocks now though?
6
Standalone GPS devices had a good run, didn’t they? And then Google released turn-by-turn navigation for Android.
7
I loved my Pentax K-1000 fully manual camera. It was so much fun during my high school photography class that I still have it, in an attic somewhere. The most popular device for uploading photos and video is now the iPhone.
8
I know the 3DS is supposed to be the next big thing, but really, why buy a separate system and pay $30-$40/game?
9
Whether you’re buying a new car or signing up for Zipcar, it’s now increasingly common to unlock and start your car with an app. Farewell era of losing your car keys.
10
Farewell era of losing the remote too. Soon you won’t have to juggle your remote with your phone and/or tablet.
11
Coming soon (we’re a few years away…), goodbye, wallet! Remember the Costanza wallet? It causes all sorts of problems. Kids born today will view this episode in the same way we view movies showing computers in the 1960s. I do wonder though: what would the Costanza phone look like?
12
Okay, let’s focus on a more typical wallet…
13
Along with cash, we’ve got all kinds of cards – credit cards, gift cards, loyalty cards... And all of it will be rendered obsolete in the coming years by NFC. The rest of this talk will point to how and why that will happen.

What is RFID?
RADIO FREQUENCYIDENTIFICATION}
The short answer: RFID uses radio waves to allow a reader or scanner to communicate with a device that has some sort of electronic tag built in or added to it. Check Wikipedia or RFIDjournal.com for more details.
1515www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Range of RFID
The range of RFID can vary considerably. It’s often a foot or so, it could be 10-20 feet, and it can even be amplified to more than 300 feet – the length of a football field, such as when tracking animals.
1616www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
There are some privacy concerns…
Tom Toles summed up the privacy concerns around RFID. Some security issues remain, such threats are much greater when the signal broadcasts further.
1717www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
What is NFC?
NEAR FIELDCOMMUNICATION
} NFC uses RFID technology. It just operates at a much closer range, typically an inch or so, and thus requires less power and is much more secure.
1818www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Survey says…
“2011 is — finally — the year that near field communication begins to matter. The market will finally move away from the trial stage in regions where NFC infrastructure is in place.”Forrester Research2011 Mobile Trends report

NFC?
2020www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Google – in a big way
Google set up a pilot for local businesses in Portland, OR where they can use these window stickers with embedded NFC chips. The catch: today there are barely any phones that can read them. But this is a sign of how NFC will be used in coming years.

Google Nexus S: the first drop of the NFC deluge
The Nexus S phones include the NFC hardware and software. Remember when the first Android phone came out in T-Mobile and months later Android was everywhere? This is the case with NFC. Right now the Nexus S and Android software update 2.3.3 is the gold standard, but this will be commonplace.
2323www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Update: Google expanding NFC pilot
“Google Inc. (GOOG) plans to start testing a mobile-payment service at stores in New York and San Francisco within four months, letting shoppers use their phones to ring up purchases, three people familiar with the project said. The company will pay to install thousands of special cash- register systems from VeriFone Systems Inc. (PAY) … ViVOtech Inc., a provider of mobile-payment technology, will also play a role in the tests, which will include Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C...The Google service may combine a consumer’s financial account information, gift-card balances, store loyalty cards and coupon subscriptions on a single NFC chip on a phone.”Read more at Bloomberg

Google loves NFC so much, it’s ditching QR
…Google… quietly phased out support for QR Codes from its Google Places service earlier this week. … Last December, Google started sending out window decals with NFC chips to participating businesses in Portland, Oregon. • Read the full story
This seems premature, given the much wider consumer access to QR vs NFC. Is Google betting too much on NFC too soon? Perhaps.

Google throws down the gauntlet with Google Wallet
“George [Costanza] would go crazy over Google Wallet. It's a case within a case within a case, a veritable matryoshka doll. Inside the case of the mobile handset is the device itself. Then inside the mobile device is the Google operating system. Within Android is Google Wallet, which ties in with Google Offers to provide targeted deals connected with the payment process. Inside Google Wallet will be a virtual array of your credit cards, loyalty cards, gift cards, mileage programs, bills, receipts, and tickets. Plus your phone already has your kids' baby pictures. “- Ad Age – “Costanza, Has Google Got a Wallet for You”

Nexus S gets app love: ChargeAnywhere lets the phones accept payments via NFC
“CHARGE Anywhere, a mobile payments company and gateway provider, has introduced a system that enables the Google Nexus S phone to function as an NFC-enabled mobile payments terminal. Using a mobile application downloaded to the device, merchants can accept NFC payments using just their Nexus S smartphone. An optional printer and swiper enables merchants to accept traditional credit card payments as well.” – ReadWriteWeb, March 2011
2727www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Nokia hearts it too
ACTUAL:“…Nokia [will] start to incorporate the technology into its Symbian^4 portfolio [in 2011].”
There were reports that Nokia would widely support NFC, but the correction toned it down a little. Still, for global handsets, it’s a big enough deal.
2828www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Isis: Carriers to the rescue
Carrier support is here too. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have teamed up to create ISIS, an alliance dedicated to furthering NFC adoption.
2929www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Verifone pledges NFC everywhere
Point of sale acceptance for NFC is a huge hurdle today. It’s chicken & egg all over again. But Verifone’s not waiting for the handsets to come out and is getting ready for NFC ubiquity. Hmm, think merchants would embrace a system that makes it even easier for you to buy stuff, and speeds up the checkout line in the process?

Hey Apple, gimme (iPhone) 5!
There are countless rumors out there about iPhone 5 support for NFC. Some expected it to be in iPad 2, but it’s not, so don’t believe all the rumors. It’s more important for phones though. We’ll find out soon enough if NFC wins over this crucial backer.
3131www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
March 14: No NFC for Apple?
“Apple will not include ‘wave and pay’ chips in the new iPhone to be released later this year, dashing industry hopes that a universal standard for the technology would be adopted in 2011.
“Sources at several of the largest mobile operators in the UK revealed Apple had disclosed in meetings that it would not be including Near Field Communication (NFC) technology – which enables payment for products with a wave of your phone on a reader – in the latest version of the iPhone…”

March 17: What THE??? We’ll know soon enough…
• Apple's forthcoming iPhone 5 may have near field communication (NFC) capabilities after all.
• "Just met with an entrepreneur who says the iPhone 5 *will* have NFC…according to his friend, who works at Apple," Forbes tech reporter Elizabeth Woyke just tweeted, adding, "Huh." (She has since written a post about it, too, here.)

HOW IS NFCUSED TODAY?
3636www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidentialhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/punkybshouse/5189941547
When looking at NFC today, it reminds me of those sticker books that were so much fun in grade school.
3737www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidentialhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/punkybshouse/5189942259
The puffy stickers with googly eyes were the best! I don’t think that’s where NFC is going though.

Dairy Queen bats around Tetherball
Dairy Queen ran a pilot with Tetherball to provide consumers with NFC-powered stickers that can be scanned at in-store terminals for special rewards.
3939www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Will we be part of Bling Nation?
Bling Rewards is a Facebook app to manage rewards. The idea is that with these NFC stickers and in-store terminals, rewards can improve for consumer loyalty. It’s still in early rollout stages.

Slurp First Data’s GoTags at 7-Eleven
First Data offers GO-Tag to partners such as 7-Eleven in select stores and markets. It’s similar to other examples here.
4141www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
It can be a game too
Touchatag, which sells NFC readers and stickers that anyone can program, demonstrated a Capture the Tag game based on Capture the Flag.
4242www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
NFC could power future business cards(note: Touchatag can do this too)

Mixi: All the world’s an NFC check-in
Mixi, Japan’s leading social network, offers stickers that can facilitate real-world check-ins, among other actions. Now you can prove someone is really in a location, without any of the inaccuracy of GPS .
4444www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
The future: within 5 years
1. All phones include NFC hardware
2. All point-of-sale terminals accept it
3. Stickers add broader NFC support:1. Stores2. OOH ads3. Product packages4. Physical toys / games5. Frito pie
