The functionality of Near Field Communications
reminds me of osmosis lessons from high school biology. If you remember,
Osmosis is the movement of water–or anything, really–across a
semi-permeable membrane. To better illustrate the concept, Professors
and teachers usually task students to view the water from a potato piece
magically drain into a salt solution by merely touching the two
together. Ooo! Ahhh!
Near Field Communication (NFC) works in a similar
osmotic fashion. It’s a set of standards used for mobile devices, where
touching two devices will initiate some sort of communication between
them. SONY is now using the synergistic tech for a new line of Bluetooth
speaker, no less. The CMT-BT line come in two styles. The SONY
CMT-BT80WB and the CMT-BT60B.
These are Bluetooth wireless speakers that will
happily play your music by simply touching an NFC ready playback device
to the speaker system. They both feature radio tuners for DAB and FM.
You can charge devices over the included USB charging ports. The
speakers are 40w. The CMT-BT80WB steps things up with WiFi and Airiplay
support.
Watch for the SONY’s new NFC Bluetooth speakers hitting stores this May.
