Cell phone technology never ceases to amaze me. Samsung and Philips team up with their latest endeavor, cell phones that implement Philips’ “Near-Field Communications” technology. The idea is to enhance future commerce much like bluetooth enhances your mobile devices - wirelessly.

“We envision a world of secure universal commerce and connectivity in which consumers can access and pay for physical and digital services anywhere, at any time, using any device,” said Mario Rivas, executive vice president, communications businesses, Philips Semiconductors, in a statement. “Philips is committed to bringing this vision of the ultimate connected consumer experience through NFC technology innovations and industry collaborations with market leaders such as Samsung.”
