Milan - There is no doubt the campaign by the media advertising designed to mount on the waiting ' 5 iPhone is in full swing. The rumors regarding the presence of support NFC chase: considered a must for the new smartphone, the technology has been absent to date on the iPhone by just a week ago. But the latest rumors circulating re-open the game.
NFC ( Near Field Communications ) has been developed by Sony and Philips and allows communication between devices at short range: it means being able to transfer data when two devices are just a few inches away, close enough to be able to touch, and is a technology suitable for applications of e-wallet is already in use in Japan in development experiments in the U.S. and in Europe. But Apple - can be read on CNet - would be thinking of other uses.
Last year, a report published by TechCrunch described the Cupertino company's intentions to develop a new iPhone with supporting NFC technology-based NXP Semiconductors and after the ' enlistment of Benjamin Vigier , expert solutions to payment of mFoundry, many suggested that the aim was to give the iPhone by the electronic wallet function. Cult Of Mac , however, now brings to the table a new paper: that of remote computing .
If a user were to have a iPhone and a Mac, both with NFC support could approach them and allow the Mac to load on whether 'applications, settings and data from the smartphone to work with that computer as if working on your Mac staff, with the possibility of finding the icons of their app : Click on the icons, the user can actually download and run the applications you want.
Not only that will do the job - according to another new philosophy, that of cloud computing - storing the data on your Mac, but on Apple's servers, which allow you to continue your work from any other Mac with support NFC as well as that of home, with confidence that the host computer - once disconnected the device - will not track personal information processed.
The aims of Apple there would be only payments, then, but advanced solutions portability of data and applications. Undoubted benefits from technological innovation, which probably suits the philosophy pursued by the company. doubt on the schedule, however, is not dissolved: NFC is being studied, some tests are in progress, but you can not tell if the fruits of development are already mature to be harvested from the iPhone will have to wait 5 or more.
The history of the hype that the media have recently anticipated iPhone and iPad teaches that when you sign to a technology or a new feature , the games are already made. IPhone will be true for 5?
