Thats faster than taking than opening the back of the N900 taking out the sim and sticking it in my PC

This is a great technology - imagine how easy it would become to buy content from brick-mortar stores direct to your mobile device - something the brick-mortar music stores need (along with competitive pricing) to make them stay relevant any more ..... but I still doubt that the music industry will ever embrace any such technology - they still want to sell CDs

Interesting that the N900 seems possible to recive that amount of data, future Fw upgrade or some mystery hardware already inside?

Didnt mean to give engadget extra traffic - I rarely hit the site anymore, if i had known the other had it already I would have linked to that

The way this was demonstrated there was no data-flow control on the N900 side of the transaction. So if it works like this in general then it means that anyone who gets close enough could just dump whatever they want into your N900. Not nice.

So the technology would need something like what's used for BlueTooth, i.e. either pairing in advance (unlikely for the kind of buy-from-store service demonstrated in the video), or a pop-up & accept on the receiver (N900) level. In other words, never as simple as demonstrated in the video.

I think that they have allready done the pairing before they shot the video.

I think it is ultra short range. It touches to that nokia box underneath, which acts sort of like pairing. Nobody can dump data to your device unless you virtually touch it on the transmitter. It just saves the hassle of pluging in the usb cable. (and the danger of them stealing your data)
