Move over Bluetooth, Sony is about ready to release a new technology that supposedly does everything Bluetooth promised only without the complication of recognizing like devices security difficulties.

Calling it TransferJet, the new wireless medium will allow wireless data transfer between gadgets and Sony says consumers should expect to see it appearing in a wide variety of products real soon. However unlike Bluetooth or 80211b/g, TransferJet works at a range of only up to 3 centimeters and its speed will rival USB cables.

Before you become suspicious of its usefulness at such a small range, Sony says the main benefit of the technology is that it will allow users to send photos or data from one device to another by just touching them together.
