What Are NFC Tags and How Do You Use Them?
Near Field Communication, or NFC, has been mentioned a few times here on Android.Appstorm,
including a few articles by yours truly. The topic really fascinates
and excites me because of the endless possibilities it affords us. About
a year ago I wrote an article entitled Near Field Communication and the Future of Mobile, where I outlined what’s in store for NFC-enabled cell phones, of which Android has a few.
However, NFC isn’t only for phones. There are devices called NFC tags, and they can really shake up the way we do things.
As a quick refresher, NFC is the ability for 2 devices to send data to
each other simply by touching. Right now, the word device implies a cell
phone or tablet. You may have seen this commercial by Samsung where the
data transfer is demonstrated in a real life situation.
