So one of the cool, but nearly worthless new features of ICS - which this tablet will have at shipping time ASUS claims - is the new "Beam" function where you can send certain kinds of data (music, photos, links, GPS data, etc) between 2 ICS phones with NFC chips.
Well, we know the coming Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the first phone to ship with ICS and has an NFC chip. So, it would be cool to know if the Prime has an NFC chip so the 2 could actually use this new "Beam" function.
Anyone read anything as I cannot find any spec that lists NFC chip in the Prime and on one hand, it would seem odd they would not given it is a coming new technology that has interesting value but at the same time, maybe not as much value in a tablet versus a phone?
