1. A method for using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) circuitry in an electronic device, the method comprising: receiving a software event, the software event indicative of a user interaction with the electronic device, wherein the software event comprises an event occurring in software being
1. A method for using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) circuitry in an electronic device, the method comprising: receiving a software event, the software event indicative of a user interaction with the electronic device, wherein the software event comprises an event occurring in software being executed by the electronic device; andin response to receiving the software event, writing data to a memory in RFID circuitry, the data indicative of the software event, and wherein the RFID circuitry is operative to provide the data when it is read, wherein the providing the data occurs when the electronic device is powered off. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the software event is indicative of a media item that has been played back on the electronic device. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the software event is received at a predetermined time interval. 4. An electronic device comprising: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) circuitry comprising: an antenna;a first memory for storing first data;a second memory for storing second data; andselection circuitry operative to select either the first or second memory for providing either the first data or the second data for transmission by the antenna, wherein the selection is based on a selection signal; anda processor operative to provide the selection signal to the RFID circuitry, wherein a state of the selection signal changes in response to receiving a software event, wherein the software event comprises a notification of a communication received by the electronic device. 5. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the received communication comprises one or more of a new email message, a new text message, or a new voicemail message. 6. An electronic device comprising: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) circuitry comprising: an antenna;a first memory for storing first data;a second memory for storing second data; andselection circuitry operative to select either the first or second memory for providing either the first data or the second data for transmission by the antenna, wherein the selection is based on a selection signal; anda processor operative to provide the selection signal to the RFID circuitry, wherein a state of the selection signal changes in response to receiving a software event, wherein the software event indicates a user interaction with media. 7. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the software event comprises one or more of a playback of a song, internet navigation, or purchase of assets. 8. An electronic device comprising: a processor;control circuitry configured to: determine that a quantifiable event has occurred in software being executed by the processor; andin response to the determining, provide data identifying the quantifiable event; andRadio Frequency Identification (RFID) circuitry comprising rewritable memory, wherein the RFID circuitry is configured to: in response to the providing, store the data identifying the quantifiable event in the rewritable memory; andpassively wirelessly transmit the data identifying the quantifiable event that is stored in the rewritable memory, wherein the data identifying the quantifiable event can be read from the rewritable memory by a reader device while the electronic device is powered off. 9. The device of claim 8, wherein the data stored in the rewritable memory of the RFID circuitry is associated with user interaction of media. 10. The device of claim 8, wherein the data stored in the rewritable memory of the RFID circuitry provides a status notification of the electronic device. 11. The device of claim 8, wherein the data stored in the rewritable memory of the RFID circuitry provides an error message. 12. The device of claim 8, wherein the data stored in the rewritable memory of the RFID circuitry is updated according to a predetermined interval. 13. The device of claim 8, wherein the data stored in the rewritable memory of the RFID circuitry is updated in response to user interaction with the device. 14. The device of claim 8 further comprising a communications bus for enabling the control circuitry to provide data to the RFID circuitry. 15. A method for using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) circuitry in an electronic device, the method comprising: determining, by the electronic device, that a quantifiable event has occurred in software being executed by a processor of the electronic device;in response to the determining, storing data identifying the quantifiable event in rewritable memory of the RFID circuitry; andpassively wirelessly transmitting, via the RFID circuitry, the data identifying the quantifiable event that is stored in the rewritable memory, wherein the passively wirelessly transmitting occurs when the electronic device is powered off. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the data stored in the rewritable memory of the RFID circuitry is associated with user interaction of media. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the data stored in the rewritable memory of the RFID circuitry provides a status notification of the electronic device. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein the data stored in the rewritable memory of the RFID circuitry provides an error message. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein the data stored in the rewritable memory of the RFID circuitry is updated according to a predetermined interval. 20. The method of claim 15, wherein the data stored in the rewritable memory of the RFID circuitry is updated in response to user interaction with the device.
