Yeah, the tech behind RFID. It can be used for other things, really anything that is small bits of text. Device sends a signal, which powers the chip and lets the chip respond back. B&N is going to use it by having signs with RFID chips, and when you wave the nook infront of the sign, it'll bounce back the text for a review on what the sign is about.
