Hotel check-in made easy

The New York Times has an article that says Palm handhelds will soon function as check-in desks and even room keys for travelers who stay at some hotels. According to the article, the system will beam room numbers and door lock codes from the computer network at the hotel’s registration desk to a guest’s Palm device through the infrared ports. The guest would then use the device to transmit another infrared signal to a chip in the door lock to open the room. Free registration is required to read this article.
