DIY RFID Reader for iPhone!

Posted on April 5, 2010 by max

Someone hack hacked their jailbroken iPhone to read RFID tags.  I think this could be a great way for companies to use old iPhones as RFID readers for their warehouse.  Smartphones are too valuable these days to be thrown away after use but turning them back into functional gadgets like this will be great for our environment.

Apple Sues HTC and Why Apple doesn’t own any Multi-Touch/Gesture Patents!

Posted on March 16, 2010 by max
