As if the iPhone hitting Verizon and the imminent release of the iPad 2 weren’t enough, a new source of buzz has everyone picking from the Apple tree once again. Bloomberg and other trusted sources have begun discussing the addition of NFC (near-field communication) capabilities to the next generation iPhone and iPad. Therefore, just by waving these devices in front of designated terminals, data can be loaded or transferred in a secure fashion. This could completely alter the way we make payments, particularly if Apple integrates this service with iTunes accounts, eradicating the need for credit cards, bus passes, and bulky wallets. Furthermore, these capabilities could enable the iPhone and iPad to become portable versions of your Mac, by storing small items of information like passwords and documents directly on the phone and larger files like photo libraries and applications in a cloud to be offered with the NFC service. Now, more than ever, the iPhone and iPad will be pocket computers, payment portals, and revolutionary pieces of technology that are sure to change life as we know it and garner enormous profit for Apple.
