Starwood Hotels & Resorts is rolling out a program in two of its hotels -- one in New York City's Harlem and one in Cupertino, Calif. -- that will allow customers to try a new lock system. Guests can download a mobile app that will allow them to virtually check in once they've arrived at the hotel. Then they'll be able to open their room door with the tap or wave of their smartphone instead of a plastic key card. The app runs on Bluetooth, not NFC technology, which makes it compatible with a wide range of popular smartphones.Smartphone Could Hold the Key to Your Room
