The person in the demo selects an album that downloads to the handset in less than 10 seconds, all wirelessly. Assuming that 100MB and 200MB then we’re looking at a 10MBps to a 20MBps transfer rate. Nokia doesn’t admit to what technology it’s using and instead only refers to it as “a new radio technology.” It can’t be NFC which tops out at More >
