What is NFC?

•Simultaneously exchange contact cards with a new friend or business acquaintance.

•Pass a picture to your friend.

•Pay for your bus or subway ride.

•Pay for your morning coffee without taking out your wallet.

•Grab a coupon from a poster you see on the street.

•Gain access to your building when you get to work.

•Send a webpage you're viewing to a friend.

•Add a friend to your BBM contacts.

•Copy smart tag information to an NFC tag.

These are just a few of the things you can do with NFC. For more, play with NFC on your device, be creative, and see what you can do.
