Electromagnetic waves change near the source of radiation: the strength of the EM field decreases with the square of the radius for the far-field component, but decreases with the cube of the radius for the near-field component. Many cellphone manufacturers are experimenting with near-field effects for "wearable computing", biomedicial physiological measurements, and other stuff.
Now Nokia is holding a competition for near-field NFC application developers.
Enter the 2010 NFC Global Competition
You could win 5,000 euros! Nokia is a platinum sponsor of the 2010 NFC Global Competition, which promotes the development and deployment of innovative near field communication (NFC) services by both commercial and academic developers.
Entries will be judged on their innovation, commercial potential, usability, and quality of design and implementation. Twenty finalists will be named, and they will be invited to present their entries at a conference in Monaco. From them, six winners will be selected, and they will receive cash prizes of 5,000 euros to 1,000 euros. All entries are due by 19 February.
