For libraries to really start seeing benefits from RFID + mobile technologies we need Apple to add a small piece of code to their operating system.

Android already has it.

If iPhones had it too developers would see more value in building apps that would reduce dependence on RFID kiosks and greatly enhance the user experience.

Hope that’s clearer!
