Vivokey Spark 2 Released

Before getting a Spark 2, see this announcement regarding a new Vivokey line being released later this year. If I were you, I’d probably install the Spark 1 today and pick up an Apex for the new features once it comes out.

we released the Spark 2 this week. It’s a drop in replacement for the Spark 1. The difference is that it’s ISO14443A instead of ISO15693. This we’ll help with a super annoying bug introduced by Google into Android that causes shit scanning on some phones of any and all ISO15693 tags… even huge credit card sized tags have spotty scanning issues. The Spark 2 also has another feature that will allow for a “scan once” option, allowing you to share something via scan but that it only works once… no reloading or forwarding. Finally the Spark 2 also includes a mechanism that will allow us to eventually let user content overwrite the VivoKey unique URL on the chip

Note that unless you have a phone affected by the ISO15683 bug, the differences between the Spark 1 and 2 are minimal.
