Android 2.3 Platform
Wait, the NFC implementation is <i>receive-only</i>?<p>Doesn't this preclude using your phone as an NFC payment device (which would be transmit, not receive)?<p>Can someone confirm if I'm parsing this correctly:<p>"An NFC Reader application lets the user read and interact with near-field communication (NFC) tags. For example, the user can “touch” or “swipe” an NFC tag that might be embedded in a poster, sticker, or advertisement, then act on the data read from the tag. A typical use would be to read a tag at a restaurant, store, or event and then rate or register by jumping to a web site whose URL is included in the tag data. NFC communication relies on wireless technology in the device hardware, so support for the platform's NFC features on specific devices is determined by their manufacturers."
