This fall, KDDI may release RFID reader attachment for cell phones

via Keitai watch (the first five photos show the device).

If you remember, KDDI was testing RFID readers for mobile phones – it was more than a year ago. Recently, the company demoed RFID reader attachment for mobile phones at Wireless Japan 2006. It can be attached on the back of a mobile phone (the size: 106 x 50 x 16mm) and reads Hitachi’s mu-Chip tags. The attachment communicates with a mobile phone via Bluetooth — information captured from RFID tags is sent to the phone via Serial Port Profile. The reader can be controlled by using a BREW application that runs on a mobile phone. Anyway, what sounds exciting is that the company may release this RFID reader attachment soon, probably this fall.
