Are we one step closer to ubiquitous computing with this tiny RFID reader?

'The world's smallest and lowest-cost 13.56MHz RFID reader has been developed by Innovision Research & Technology plc, the RFID specialist. The RFID reader module, known as "io", is expected to have a unit cost one-tenth of existing readers and will extend the potential of RFID into completely new areas including consumer, healthcare, transport and logistics products.

Smaller than a US dime, io features an on-board RISC processor, making it ideal for small-footprint devices. Combined with its low power consumption and intelligent power management, io is especially suited for small, battery-powered handheld devices.'
