Sirit's Plug-n-Play SDIO RFID scanner

By Ryan Block

Nah, it's not the first SD-based RFID scanner
we've seen, but we are feeling Sirit's new $99 Plug-n-Play SDIO scanner, if not for its Windows Mobile and Palm support,
than for the variety of high frequency tags and transponders it can scan: ISO 14443A/B, 15693, and 18000-3, INSIDE
PicoTag, HID iClass, Tagsys C320, eNFC, and, of course, FeliCa. Yes, the problem still remains that RFID just isn't big yet, but it's never gonna grow unless companies start making the technology available, and it's never gonna get cheap
(not that the $99 they're asking for one of these is that unreasonable) until we start flooding the market — so more power to you, Sirit, even if these things don't sell like hotcakes except but to Wal-Mart and hobbyists.

P.S. And yes, if you wanted to get a little more stationary, they're offering the same product for your computer via USB.
