@rickyacid123 thanks dude x)

@theNerdGamer88 You can share anything in a second. Webpages, contacts, pictures. It saves time on having to search via bluetooth or whatever. Just a single click and youve transferred exactly the same page onto another device.

[theNerdGamer88]

What is the point of this ?

i don't get it xD

[PatxiALR]

I wasn't cable ti transfer anything but web pages links. Do you think I should wait forma ante ICS improvement? I'm using a free Google Galaxy Nexus handset with Android 4.02 (ICS).

@manco82 It only works on a short distance to be safe. Since you don't use passwords it has no protection other than only working when it's close to another NFC chip. Hence the name NFC (Near field communication)

@manco82 so when two people walk next to each other the phone would always think you wan't to beam something over to the other phone because you're closer than 2 meters... that'd be annoying -.-

@manco82 U can't walk these 2 meters ? u must be American.

[manco82]

Just wait until Apple's BTLE solution comes where you don't have to touch the 2 phones together, you can do it from 2 meters.
