Nokia demos Explore and Share an ultra-fast wireless data transfer concept
Nokia has shown of a demo of a new piece of technology called Explore and Share which lets you transfer files wirelessly to your phone. This is some interesting work by folks in Nokia Research Center in Finland.
The demo uses a specially modded Nokia N900 and transfers an entire music album in under 10 seconds !
Explore and Share is based on new radio technology. This demo unit sees you place your device on a ‘writer’ which is connected to a separate touchscreen monitor. This new radio tech forms a short-range connection between the writer and the device, and doesn’t use any other radio networks – the writer is immediately paired with and recognizes your handset, and instantly brings up relevant content that is available for it on the large touchscreen monitor. From here you simply tap to transfer the apps, music albums, games, apps, videos and other extras you fancy, direct to your phone in a flash.
There is another video by Vaibhav from TheSymbianBlog
Hope we see this in real devices atleast by 2012. What do you think about this new concept ?
