The idea here is obvious. Epson developed technology that combines the infant technology of RFID and electronic paper. The paper has enough room for 8-bits of data (perfect for those expensive wines) and it communicates to POS systems via RFID. That basically means store owners can get rid of those pesky store clerks and price all of their goods on the fly in real time.
No word yet on when RFID will be under $.01 a chip or when electronic paper will be under $1000 an inch!
I bet Japanese people have funny looking keyboards
