Interesting use cases of NFC (Near Field Communication)

NFC is opening up new possibilities for mobile applications. Applications using this short-range radio technology can greatly simplify how a user gathers data from and interacts with their environment. When a phone touches, or is held near an NFC tag or another NFC capable device, the phone can exchange data with the tag or device. This data could be a link to the download of the menu from a favourite restaurant, the specifications for an electronic gizmo, or paring information from a Bluetooth headset or another phone that can be used to exchange objects: the possibilities are endless.
