Hopes still alive for NFC on Nokia N8 as Tyfone puts NFC into microSD cards

Yes you are right, the dream of having NFC on other symbian^3 devices like Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C6-01 can come true as the company's (Tyfone) patented technology allows an NFC secure element, controller and antenna to be built into SD and microSD cards, making it possible for mobile phone and PDA owners to add near field communication capabilities to their devices by just adding a Tyfone card.


Tyfone's U4ia secure memory card (SMC) contains:
  • An industry standard, GlobalPlatform-compliant multi-application contactless smart card chip
  • A memory card controller that includes Tyfone IP that enables the SMC to work with any SD slot equipped device
  • A miniaturized antenna, developed by Tyfone
Flash memory, available in standard SD and microSD card capacities (Tyfone's NFC additions don't reduce the size of memory available)  


As well as the secure memory cards, Tyfone also provides a software platform that integrates into the issuer's back office systems and manages the relationship between the client handset, the card and the issuer's back end systems.
