Will Apple iPhone be RFID powered?
Filed in archive Companies , Information About on January 8, 2008
People who own Apple iPhone already consider themselves to be part of the elite class and now they might feel themselves stand out among the crowd since Apple has gone ahead and filed a patent application whereby shoppers might be able to bypass long queues at eating joints and retail stores as they will be able to place orders from their mobile phone without having to move an inch from their seats and would only need to get up to take their orders when its ready. All this would be possible at just a touch of button.
From all this it seems that RFID technology might make its way to iPhones but still there is no confirmation on this issue. If you all remember then a few months back I had talked about how people in Korea could order burgers from their phones using RFID. Let see what emerges out of this patent if Apple gets it and I hope the first thing they do when launch they this technology is to get rid of long queues at their stores!!

Came across Zstamp which is not the ordinary stamp that can be affixed to an envelope rather it's an RFID stamp.
