Comment on FloJack: Bringing NFC to iPhone/iPad (kickstarter)

Comments

Probably the most important use case for such a device is payments / PayPass - does it support card emulation?

The FloJack supports all 3 NFC modes: Discovery (R/W), Card Emulation, and Peer to Peer. Payments is messy. There are two types: Closed-loop and Open-loop. The FloJack supports closed-loop via cloud payments, but for open-loop you need a tamper-proof secure module which we couldn't manage to fit in. We are working on new devices that will support open-loop payments, so email info@flomio.com if you want to learn more.
