More interesting than that is a patent describing methods for reprogramming your iPhone on the go, over-the-air, for use with any carrier. Read on… This will come in handy in roaming situations when traveling abroad. Say you’re an AT&T user on a vacation in France. Rather than pay high roaming fees, you’d simply buy a SIM card from a local carrier and slap it into the device which would then wirelessly activate itself for use on that carrier’s cellular network. When you’re back home, swap the AT&T or Verizon SIM card and the device would re-activate itself for your home carrier. Another patent describes a RFID mobile device capable of interacting with RFID-tagged object by swiping or shaking your device. RFID, an acronym for Radio-Frequency Identification, is a technology that uses radio waves to exchange data between a reader built into a device and electronically tagged objects. In theory, this would allow an RFID-equipped iPhone to interact with a desktop computer or open up a keyless car door with a swipe, as vividly demoed in a pair of clips at the bottom. Patently Apple notes this could “likely play a role in Apple’s forthcoming iWallet feature set”. One patent win describes a touch display that doubles as an RFID tag reader, the publication explains: Quote:
