Intel rethinking RFID?

Intel is working on a new bar-code standard that supports wireless technologies including RFID tags.

Large volume orders for RFID tags from retail giants such as Gillette should push the unit price down sufficiently to allow for widespread adoption. Intel [INTC] may now be rethinking its position in this market after stating last October that it had no intention of jumping into what it called the "penny-a-chip" radio frequency identification market.
