Hehe.. technology is finally getting touchy feely! :)

But I'm not sure how much a value-add this is over bluetooth which, although a tad slow, serves the purpose of short range communication for things like printing, sharing photos, business cards, etc.

Good thing is that a "touch" might serve as an indication of willingness to communicate and removes the need to press buttons as well as the initial handshake - for really specific applications like using coupons, or payments or to find out details about a product from its tag.
