some nikkei articles claim that japanese firms will put RFID functions in 
phones so that users can obtain more info about products from the mobile 
internet. the attached article claims that western firms are moving very 
quickly to put RFID tags on products. What do people think might be the 
main benefits of accessing product info via mobile phones and these RFID tags?
