The Role of Standards in NFC
How many standards bodies does it take to lay solid foundations for a new technology? In the process of researching content for a paper on Near Field Communication (NFC) – specifically, the role of Trusted Services Managers (TSMs) – for the Smart Mobility conference, I’ve been side tracked a little by this important issue.

Demo Night at MoMo London June 2009
I had an excellent evening at Mobile Monday this week. I was assigned the task of presenting my work for the past year – the Proxama NFC Wallet - in just 5 minutes.

Nokia’s NEW NFC 6216 Classic
At first glance, Nokia’s announcement last week about the new Nokia 6216 doesn’t seem so "new". For the most part, the handset is identical to the existing 6212 (which is what we do all our current NFC development work on). What makes it new is that the secure element is on the SIM - whereas the old version has an integrated chip, as a feature of the handset itself.
