NFC (Near Field Communications) is a short ranged (1-4cm), low speed (106 – 414 kbps) and low friction setup (no discovery, no pairing) that does not need a battery to communicate. This technology is quite groundbreaking and Google is now making it available for developers to incorporate it into their applications. The NFC technology works like this:

– The Android device being used must have an NFC antenna (currently only located at the back of the device on NEXUS S).

– The NFC functionality must be enabled

– The user simply taps the device on anything that is NFC enabled

 

I’ve added 2 videos, the first is the short version outlining basic functionality and the second is a more in depth version
