Here Come SD Cards With NFC

No thanks. I dislike anything that you can just "scan" and get at the "information" without any security protocols. This is why i hate my credit card. If i lose it, someone just has to tap the card on the card machine. That's it, that's all. No pin, no signature required. That is why i always insert it in the card machine and enter my pin, which creates a pattern.

I don't even really use NFC on my phone so this doesn't do anything for me.

Pretty much just giving people a needless alternative rather than fixing a problem or improving something.

So you'd have to scan the card, make a note of what's on it, then when you lose it (seriously?) and find it later, you can scan it again and see the note you made?

I'm just not seeing the use case.

It's just something else to market and sell. Whether it has a "real" use, does not matter.

Apparently. I'm open to new ideas that make my life easier or whatever, but I just can't fathom the benefit of these SD cards. Unless the linked article missed some important details, like the RFID scan can somehow tell you exactly what's on the card or the space free or something like that. That would be mildly useful, but probably not useful enough to justify the extra expense it would likely incur.

Eye-fi was it? That's a real NEAT concept, but speeds x prices made that useless as heck unless you're in a studio shooting 1-3 pics with like half a minute interval or something.
