Be watching for apple iBeacon details
« on: June 03, 2014, 03:43:22 PM »
I'm particularly interested in cost and how to load code.  I've seen one site offering a 3-pack for 100-ish usd, but wasn't sure if it was legit ibeacon or knockoff.

Target Launches Beacon Test In 50 Stores, Will Expand Nationwide Later This Year

Quote
The app will then prompt customers to “opt in” to share their location with the retailer while in the store, and allow it to send push notifications to their phones. The company says that it will limit these notifications, so as not to overwhelm customers with alerts. There will only be two push notifications sent per shopping trip.
