Phones and PDAs have been able to exchange virtual business cards for a few years now, but nobody seems keen on taking up the feature. The problem is, lining your devices up, pairing them as trusted and finding your person on a crowded list of available devices.
Meet the Info Ring. When you shake your new friend’s hand, your contact information is exchanged. You can then sync your ring up with your laptop or PDA or what-have-you, problem solved.
Edit: Sounds scary. I shake a lot of peoples’ hands and I wouldn’t want half of them knowing my contact information. - Blake

I liked the look of this ring so much that I emailed the guys who made this and asked them a few more questions which I posted here. This seems less cumbersome than nTag’s interactive badge, but I think it’ll be years before we see something as slick as this ring out on the market. Of course by that time cell phones will probably be doing this sort of thing.
