Mood you notice they even say in the commercials that they can send playlists not actual music.You see the commercials about bumping phones to send playlists, videos, or whatever but they have to touch the screen. What makes it so much better than a text or email? I mean can you bump phones & send people music they didn't even buy?
I use bump often. Specifically for things you can't get anymore. Like process killer.I feel its just a gimmick. I played with the Bump app but got tired of it quickly.
A valuable tool to some.I use bump often. Specifically for things you can't get anymore. Like process killer.
finally someone who see's it as something to use on a daily basis and some gimmick.What's the big deal with NFC? Right now, not so much. But in 6 months or a year it could be HUGE. I believe NFC will be a revolution in how we use mobile phones and even tablets. There is some über-cool stuff for NFC in the pipeline. It's not ready yet, but soon it will be everywhere.
Imagine having your subway pass in your phone electronically and linked to NFC. You just walk onto the subway like it's a free ride while your account is debited through the mobile phone in your pocket. No fuss, no muss. It will be like EZ-Pass on the highway. And that's only one of a couple dozen uses that become a reality. Many many more will follow.
It's just not used yet just promoted in every galaxy commercial for the future. What is passbook suppose to be used for?finally someone who see's it as something to use on a daily basis and some gimmick.
there is a big difference passbook is an app/software and nfc is hardware. you don't need no apps to run nfc. either your phone is born with it or it's.It's just not used yet just promoted in every galaxy commercial for the future. What is passbook suppose to be used for?
So you use NFC?there is a big difference passbook is an app/software and nfc is hardware. you don't need no apps to run nfc. either your phone is born with it or it's.
So you have to be at the store to get this? It's not offered via app or web? No more weekly ad papers?yes i do use. also some store fronts are now placing nfc tags right outside there door. so you can read them with your phone. some of the info they put on the nfc chips are. daily specials,promos,store hours,phone number and there location which takes you striaght to google maps so you can share there in and location with your friends
You'll still get store apps and web interfaces, plus weekly ad papers. NFC is going to be something EXTRA for you as you walk into the store. Hold your NFC-enabled phone up to a sign at the front door and you instantly get coupons, a store map, daily specials, whatever the store wants to give you.So you have to be at the store to get this? It's not offered via app or web? No more weekly ad papers?
Funny, maybe when Apple decides to steal this and rebrand it with a silly name people will be singing a different tune LMAOI feel its just a gimmick. I played with the Bump app but got tired of it quickly.
Ummmm..... No, I don't use most of the gimmicky stuff on my phone. I like simple.Funny, maybe when Apple decides to steal this and rebrand it with a silly name people will be singing a different tune LMAO
Can't it be said though that what others consider a necessary phone feature is what you would consider gimmicky. Vice versa.Ummmm..... No, I don't use most of the gimmicky stuff on my phone. I like simple.
If you choose to live your life around a "phones function" have at it.
It's still a gimmick IMO.
