What is NFC
Simply speaking, it is a technology that combines the funtion as a RFID tag and the function as a RFID reader! NFC defines three communication modes: peer-to-peer mode, read/write mode, and NFC card emulation mode.

NFC Applications
- MyNFC, an open source, Java Script based development environment
- It looks like web widgets supporting NFC interfaces. But not sure how NFC tags are integrated into the Java Script environment.
