The basic idea is that whenever you touch one of the tiles with your phone, it’ll perform a set of actions – stuff like turning on and off Bluetooth, sending a text message or connecting to a wireless network. It’s clever stuff, but it’s not always obvious to see what kind of things you could use it for. That’s where this graphic steps in, with some real useful scenarios for TecTiles.

So what do you think? I think it’s pretty neat, and I’m definitely going to be picking some up to use with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus once they’re released. When I think to all the time I spend each day turning on an off Wi-Fi as I enter and leave my house and the valuable minutes at the end of the day I waste setting alarms and turning off notifications, it really makes a lot of sense.
