Samsung Nexus S Update to Bring NFC
Brighthand: Android OS 2.3.3 update will come with near field communications for the contact-less, proximity-based exchange of data.
"For instance, a movie poster may have a small NFC chip inside of it, allowing someone to hold their phone up to it and instantly have a trailer for the movie start streaming onto your handset."
"With this technology, which is enabled in Android OS 2.3.3, a whole new series of apps will be available to Samsung Nexus S users."
"With the new Android update, the Nexus S will now possess an NFC reader/writer API, allowing apps to "read and write to almost any standard NFC tag in use today," according to the Android developers blog."
