There’s no need to face tangled wires, or wait forever to connect using Bluetooth, when it comes to playing music. Instant wireless connectivity is the way to go, or at least, it’s what Singapore-based Creative Technology believes. The maker of the acclaimed MP3 player, Zen, is back with a new range of Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled portable wireless speakers — Airwave HD and Airwave. More are expected by the end of 2013.

Faster connectivity
Wish to play music from your NFC-enabled smartphone? Simply touch the speaker with your phone. The connection takes a few seconds to set up (unlike Bluetooth which may take ages with some devices), and you’re good to go.
