Nokia has released some phone software that allows users to create simple template based “pages” for their mobile phones which can then be picked up by other phones via Bluetooth. The idea is intriguing and if picked up by other phone makers could be of interest to both business (sort of a phone swappable business card) and personal (a good way to find “prospects” in the clubbing scene) users.
The software is free, and can be found here. According to the drop down list on the download page the software is available for the 3230, 6260, 6600, 6620, 6630, 6670, 6680, 6681, 6682 and the 7610. If your still confused about how it works, they have a nice flash demo on the main page.
With technologies like 3G slowly becoming more mainstream and smart phones becoming more prolific, I can see this sort of functionality extended beyond the short range of Bluetooth and wireless. The possibilities are endless. Imagine being able to look up a business number in the phone book and enter that number into your phone to get a look at small page detailing their offerings before you call. It isn’t there yet, but give it time.
