It’s small enough (6.5mm square) to be embedded in clothes, posters, and probably babies as well – at least, if they wanted babies to be able to read RFID tags. Its low power consumption rate means we’ll probably be seeing these things included standard in Samsung phones, gadgets, and so on as soon as they can get them there.
