you walk into walmart, their rfid scanners pick up your info, and try to sell you the latest specials on your palm/cell, lol. I am really against the main use of rfid, its just spells trouble. And walmart is seriously pushing the use of it. Basically, you could enbed a rfid into a shirt, and when this shirt is purchased your info tied into it. Walking back into walmart with that shirt would allow there readers to pick this info up. Minority report anybody? Well the other use is not bad, lets say those "shirts" were runing low, the computer could auto purchase more shirts.

in the sd card, i assume it would be usefull for computer security, holding your key to the computer, plus your data. I wouldn't mind taking a 8gb sd card to work, use it to sign in, then access my work, and then have the convience to take it home. Other then that, hmmm....

Seems like a solution to no known problem.

RFID has uses - but is this an RFID reader with memory, or a contactless RFID based memory card ... its really not that clear.
