Sharp Outs The RW-T107 Gingerbread Tablet With NFC & RFID Capabilities

Sharp just did the unthinkable. The RW-T107 Gingerbread tablet is actually useful and gives businesses a new way to interact with consumers with a built-in NFC and RFID reader. This is the future, kids. The tablet itself is of the 7-inch Gingerbread variety. It's of a standard build and includes microUSB, a HDMI port, SIM card slot, and a headphone jack. Sharp expects to release 5,000 a month starting next month and it will likely be reserved for the commercial market and not hit the consumer channels. It's only meant for the Japanese market where RFID payment cards are commonplace and NFC mobile wallets are gaining traction.
