Provider O2 announced the UK’s first large-scale pilot with NFC with over 500 O2 customers participating across selected sites in London.

The trial begins on 28 November 2007 and will run for six months till the end of May 2008. Participants will be given the Nokia 6131 NFC handset bundled with O2 Wallet, which will hold virtual cards (including Oyster and Barclaycard) with NFC functionality. They can then use it to make purchases in retail outlets or use London’s public transportation. An incoming phone call or text message will not interfere with the NFC transaction.

During the initial phase, Barclaycard will also credit each phone with GBP 200 worth of funds for use by the participants. The Nokia 6131 NFC can not only be used for making purchases but also to check available funds. Stay tuned for more news on this one.

Targeting students entering the forthcoming semester, IOGear unveiled two new products for those on the move. The new 4GB Flash Wallet Drive (model GFD204B) and 3-in-1 Wireless Phaser Presentation Mouse (model GME422RW6) can be useful accessories. The Wallet Drive, just 3mm thick and smaller than a business card, is convenient to carry around.

It plugs into existing USB 2.0/1.1 ports and also supports Windows ReadyBoost (when used with Windows Vista).

The 3-in-1 Phaser presentation cordless mouse is a laser pointer, track ball with optical capabilities. It works with both PCs and Macs, and communicates with a USB receiver that plugs into your computer. Offering a good 30-feet range, it provides an easy way to make computer-based presentations in the classroom. When used on a solid surface, it operates in optical mode between 800-1600 dpi. The Phaser mouse is covered with Nano Coating to prevent bacteria from surviving on the product.
