Subj: Ability for cellphones to perform a close-range wireless
      exchange of virtual business cards.

The Nokia 7110 (WAP enabled) does the exact thing stated
above via its internal infared link (oviously to a
compatiable phone or computer)

Subj: cell phones

Yes the Nokia 7110 can already exhange business cards.
I have one of these phones and it does make it a lot easier
if you dont have a card.

The only problem is that not everyone has the phone.

Subj: Waitakere - Lack of Wideband

If Ambient Design is so concerned about lack of wideband in
Waitakere City, the answer is obvious - come to Wellington
where Citylink and Telstra/Saturn has oodles of bandwidth
and in desirable living areas.

Subj: Business Cards

Bruce your idea scares me! Could you imagine what it would
be like walking in to a room full of salespeople and trying
to sort out which cards you do and don't want.

Some Nokia phones allow cards to be exchanged via IR or via
a text message if the phone is GSM.  This is very useful!

Subj: Business Card exchange

I think you will find that that Nokia 62xx GSM phones allow
infra-red exchange of address book information (and if I
recall correctly - you can even play each other at Snakes
across the room from one another - a thoroughly useful
feature I am sure!)
