some pretty cool uses of the
iBeacon technology from Apple, but the product itself is still not available for the general public. Now, a new filing has spotted for an iBeacon device through FCC, attached to the product numbe A1573. According to the filing (and the included imagery), this iBeacon measures 5.46-inches in diameter and is powered via USB connection.</p> <!--break--> <p><a href='

This iBeacon will enable purchasers to utilize Bluetooth 4.0 and wireless connectivity to offer location-based content to compatible hardware, including the
iPhone and
iPad, as we'e already witnessed with solutions covered already.</p> <p>Apple's iBeacon is a cool concept that has already been shown to work in not only Apple's own retail stores, but
partnered companies too. While the device is passing through FCC, it's still not known when Apple will launch it, if at all. We could also be looking at <a href="">HomeKit[/url] integration, but we'll have to see.</p> <p>Source:
