This ain't no Android. It's a pity to see that it's taken them so long to get their act together. It feels like there's an enormous demand for hackable mobile devices, especially with the specs that the Neo sports. My guess is that unless they get it together rapidly, they're going to swiftly become irrelevant as the iPhone SDK is released, the existing iPhone drops to a ~$200 price range and newer models and clones begin to flood the market over the next 6-12 months.

The idea being that if I tagged a few important objects, I could get a low resolution version of the 'Search Engine of Things' for them (i.e. I could figure out where I'd left my keys). And, as more objects come off the line with their own RFID tags, they'd get swept up in the system too.
