Question about: smart card reader for moblie phone?
Hi All,
Anyone knows whether there is a smart card reader for moblie phone. The smart card does not refer to SIM card, just normal smart card.
In SATSA-APDU API it supports moblie application directly communicates with normal smart card (with given AID). So is that possible in real device? Moblie phone can directly send APDU to smart card (NOT SIM).
If does, what sort of device can I buy?Where to get it?
Thanks...

Yes there are mobile phones that act via NFC as smart card reader. One I know of is the Nokia 6131 NFC. You can write a midlet, in which you choose the contactless transfer protocol (A or B) and send APDU's to a smart card with contactless interface. You could even include a user interface where you type the APDU commands with the mobile phone keyboard ...

I'm not sure you really understood the JSR177. There is no "normal" smartcards... you can communicate with a SIM card using SATSA-APDU API but as a security issue, you are not allowed to send all kind of APDU on channel 0, so you have to deal with another application on channel 1 or with a SAT application that you can access using an envelope command.
