We look at this new business card idea from Cosmos.Cosmos reviewedThis card does do some interesting things, albeit with a high financial commitment in terms of its annual fee. In some ways the whole concept of a business card in 2024 does raise some interesting questions. When did you last have your own business card printed? Let's say maybe a while ago now, perhaps even more than a few years back. Then, when did you last accept a business card from someone else, probably more recently.Does this mean that they are still pursuing a relatively outdated approach, or that you should get some more printed up. Except that you can also suggest that they find you online, at your preferred social media networking outlet?Cosmos aims to be a big solid, perhaps chunky reminder of what a business card could be. Our testers both liked the heft and feel of the physical card itself, while also feeling that the edges were a little snagged. Was this because it was more at the prototype end, or would it continue to snag and roughen up as time and usage progresses?The concept is a strong one, with the interesting and appealing concept that you just tap and go, no need to write anything down or copy and paste. It just does it for you. for the wow look and instant impact, it definitely is fun and impressive. The big question is how much are potential users willing to pay for that moment of coolness, and therefore how many sales this product will achieve.It could be an interesting product to watch, and we guess that if you go to conferences in the future and see people seamlessly exchanging their details via this Cosmos card, then it will have succeeded. For now our team are a little on the fence as to how widely it will penetrate the market. The tipping point might depend on how much of a wow factor that AI side of things can deliver.More about the Cosmos business cardCosmos is a next-generation networking gadget presented in the form of an upmarket metal card, combining hardware and software.
