RFID Implementation Challenges Persist, All This Time Later
Sure, RFID is useful--but problems and costs associated with it continue to cause frustration, even among true believers
By Laurie Sullivan,
Oct. 10, 2005
URL:
Mix a promising but immature and costly technology with fast-moving adoption mandates from a huge customer to which you can't afford to say no. Throw in a pinch of inevitable human errors, stir in the unyielding laws of physics, and then top it all off with a dash of bickering about standards. And what you get is the passive radio-frequency identification market near the end of 2005.

Supply Chain and the Main Challenges Of RFID
By Mark Palmer, VP Event Stream Processing (ESP),
May 16, 2007—Diners at City Pizza in West Palm Beach, Fla., no longer need to linger until the wait staff drops off the check once they've finished eating. Instead, they can wave an RFID-enabled card at a self-service kiosk, then pay with a credit card. The technology is also helping the restaurant monitor orders by requiring employees to log into the point-of-sale (POS) system using RFID-enabled wristbands.

Mobile Technology shorts:
1) Blackberry Printing and Septembers new device
HP says that it is seriously thinking about reviving a printing platform for Blackberry.
The platform would enable users to send mail to a specific email address, with capability included that any attachments the message contains could be printed.
That’s ”Two or three years ago we had a BlackBerry printing platform that we introduced to market,” Computing’s Matt Chapman wuotes Sharon Jones, vice president of laserjet connectivity and document delivery at HP, as saying t at the Print 2.0 conference in New York.
Dedicated email printing would also be on the table.
and the updated BlackBerry Pearl that will be out in September will actually be the BlackBerry Pearl 8120.
The device will offer a 2 megapixel camera, GPS, and WiFi.
First carriers: T-Mobile in the U.S. Rogers in Canada.
Colors are believed to be black, red, titanium, blue, and gold."
2) Report: iPhone may have VPN client
The VPN client is currently in beta – would target the corporate market.
From Wikipedia: A Mobile Virtual Private Network (Mobile VPN) integrates standards-based authentication and encryption technologies to secure data transmissions to and from devices and to protect networks from unauthorized users. Designed for wireless environments, Mobile VPNs are designed as an access solution for users that are on the move and require secure access to information and applications over a variety of wired and wireless networks. Mobile VPNs allow users to roam seamlessly across IP-based networks and in and out of wireless coverage areas without losing application sessions or dropping the secure VPN session. For instance, highway patrol officers require access to mission-critical applications in order to perform their jobs as they travel across networks.
