TORO is going to appear ON the radar of the Silicon Valley

Add


So this was the good news we were expecting from Under-The-Radar: TORO has been selected among 32 startups globally to present at the Under-The-Radar conference. The event will take place in Mountain View, CA on Nov. 12, 2008.

Under-The-Radar is one these events that make the Silicon Valley’s heart beat, where Start-ups meet VCs, where influent bloggers take the pulse of the Internet economy, and where tomorrow’s rising stars first show on the radar. This year’s topic is: MOBILITY.

“The iPhone isn’t changing the game - it’s reinventing the whole sport. While their competitors followed the rules and fumbled, Apple wrote their own playbook and proved to the world that mobile innovation isn’t about waiting for the opportunity - its about creating it. It doesn’t matter whether carriers and mobile giants want the change - simply put, they don’t have a choice. From Verizon to Google and Nokia to Apple, every big player is competing fiercely for market dominance, spurring an emergence of startups ready to join the match and oust the reigning champs.”

While the focus is today on the iPhone and the G-phone that are making mobile Internet possible, TORO is going to see if the Silicon Valley moguls are willing (or not -yet) to investigate on the mobile phone’s next usage: the NFC mobile wallet. That will be TORO’s first steps in the USA…

Hi!

My name is Shao, coming from Taiwan.
Recently I am studying the NFC ecosystem. And I found TSM is a big issue in the ecosystem.
Do you have any reference to introduce what is TSM and what TSM can control?
Thank you.
