A very professional looking business card is really very important in promoting your business. It makes good impression among customers.-”*

I think you’re missing the point. He’s talking about the feasibility of such a device. The reason why we still exchange paper cards is because paper is universal. It’s why we still have books, too. When things go digital, protocols, filetypes, and form factors make things segmented.

What might make more sense is to have a better system to exchange contacts wirelessly between cell-phones. We have formats like vCard, and we have bluetooth. What’s the problem? We need an industry standard. I don’t know much, but I doubt the MelonCard would become a standard.

Also, if cloud-syncing gets pervasive enough, this could be handled in the cloud.

This can be done today by most mobile phones that support the Bluetooth Object Push Profile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#Object_Push_Profile_.28OPP.29)

Nice packaging but a redundant device if one has a mobile phone.

If this Meloncard would be realized soon, I think it would change the way people exchange contact information. This is something to look forward to.
