Parrot PARTY Black edition: NFC-Enabled!
Parrot PARTY Black edition will be the first commercialised speaker system to integrate Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.
Where in the past pairing phones with Bluetooth devices has involved navigating menus, the Parrot PARTY Black Edition’s NFC technology allows pairing simply by touching the phone to the speaker system.
Experts predict that by 2010, more than 500 million handsets will incorporate NFC capabilities. The technology will be used for payments both remotely and at point of sale as well as to access information from smart objects.
Parrot has been a member of the NFC Forum Initiative for over two years and the incorporation of NFC in the PARTY Black underlines Parrot’s continuing role a leading innovator in the industry.
