Sony unveiled a new proprietary Near Field Communication technology called TransferJet at the Consumer Electronics Show this past weekend. TransferJet can allow high-speed wireless data transfer and is Sony’s response to UWB (ultra-wide band) technology. For instance it can connect a camcorder to a television simply by placing the camcorder on top of this wireless unit. Sony plans to commercialize TransferJet-based products in 2009. Find out more information about the new technology in EE Times’ article about TransferJet. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/archive-4.gif)
