Send Images From Phone To PC Just By Waving Handset

How about waving your cell phone or digital camera in front of your personal computer or printer to transfer pictures? No cable, no setup and no keyboard strokes. Nikkei Net Interactive reports on this new functionality promised by Near Field Communication's technology, and Toppan Forms Co.

"Holding a cell phone with the embedded module next to a module linked to a computer's USB port automatically establishes a connection through which captured images and video clips can be sent to the PC. The same functions can be performed with a camera and a printer.

B>As long as two modules are within 10cm of each other, a link can be established and data can be transmitted wirelessly at speeds as fast as 424 kilobits per second."
