I know what NFC is...
A KIRF restaurant.
I do know what NFC is, but I don't think I've ever seen it being used. It's something that some high-end phones have, but hardly anyone uses it. If it's sharing photos or songs or something, I think most people use Bluetooth, as just about all phones have BT. And I don't think contactless payments systems are likely to happen here for a long time, many stores don't even take credit/debit cards, cash only.

I haven't seen it used either. But just browse an Apple blog and tons of fandroids slam Apple like 'ur iCrapple doesn't even have NFC!'
being this is an android forum, i moved this thread to the non-android forum.
I think NFC is a technology that's still looking for a definitive use. If it's tagging things QRcode does that very well, and no additional hardware needed, just about every phone has a camera.

Agree, the whole world may not be ready for NFC yet. To be honest, I haven't even found a place for it in my life, as no body I know has the feature.

Agreed.
To save this thread going OT and as I think there's some interest in this subject. I've started a thread and poll in The Lounge about NFC.
