NTT turns RFID-equipped cellphones into keys

NTT Business Associe Co. Ltd. has developed a security system that will let people use DoCoMo's RFID-equipped cellphones as a key to get in their apartments. The system, dubbed MoCoCa (Mobile Communication and Control for Comfortable Area), will first be deployed in the Garden Nakano and Asociel Waseda apartments in Tokyo. Also, judging by the illustration, they've also developed some sort of pushy bilingual talking doorknob.
