Yeah apple have done great things, that's why they don't appear to be correcting The issue with the loss of signal on the iPhone 4, when it's is held in a left hand and the signal is lost. When they fix this issue, they'll sell a lot more. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Doug Lawlor Sent: Tuesday, 13 July 2010 4:15 p.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: A warning about Digit-Eyes
Maybe an RFID reader will come in the next iPhone or some other idevice. I think it is just amazing what Apple has done with these devices thus far. I personally would like to see some sort of haptic feedback so we can get a tactual sense of icons and controls. I know Apple is working on this. Patents have been filed by Apple regarding methods for haptic feedback.

It may be for capturing information about a specific product, you would have to get pretty close. The distances you refer too is more useful for warehouses, dockyards, and such. I am not sure if the ability to read is based on the scanner or the RFID tag itself. So, I think you can pretty much figure my knowledge is quite limited, other than what I read. I do not know when Apple might put these readers in the phone, but I thought it was to be included in version 4, but that I believe did not happen yet. >>> On Jul 11, 2010, at 10:10 PM, Doug Lawlor wrote: >>> >>>> That's interesting, RFID would be much better for identifying products because you would not have to point a device at the product in question to identify it. Just get a reader in the general direztion of the of the product and we should be able to identify it. As I understand it, the range of RFID is quite large, something in the range of 30 feet. How do we determine a product when we have a number of products in one area, a covert full of cans and bottles, each presenting a signal that has a 30 foot radius? >>>> >>>> Doug >>>> >>>> Sent from my iPhone >>>> >>>> On 2010-07-11, at 9:33 PM, Scott Howell <scottn3...@gmail.com> wrote: >>>> >>>>> Doug, >>>>> >>>>> I do not know how many products have them now, but I suspect more than we know. For example, I recently learned that the recycle bins our county provides us has a RFID chip imbedded in them. Apparently the data collected from the chips let's the county know how often we put the bins out. RFID chips are being used more now because of the speed and ability to collect data on products being shipped and received, etc. >>>>> >>>>> -- >>>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >>>>> To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com. >>>>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >>>>> >>>> >>>> -- >>>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >>>> To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com. >>>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >>>> >>> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >>> To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com. >>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >>> >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. >> To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
