iPOS devices need not apply..NFC sharing between Android and Windows Phone 8 SMARTPHONES By Alex Dobie \| Oct 29 2012 \| 4:08 pm \| 0 COMMENTS androidcentral.com Android has supported NFC (near-field communication) technology since Gingerbread, and Android Beam has enabled easy URL, app and contact sharing since ICS launched last year. But our friends in the Windows Phone world are just now getting their first introduction to NFC in the latest windows Phone 8 release. In addition to a new NFC-enabled wallet, WP8 includes "tap + send" support, which enables Android Beam-like functionality between NFC-enabled Windows phones. But because it's a multi-platform standard, many of these features work just fine between Windows Phone 8 and Android, as you'll see in our demo video below. We tried bouncing web pages and contacts back and forth between a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and an HTC 8X, and were able to do so without a hint of trouble. Unfortunately, NFC file transfers remain off-limits for the time being, so if you want to share photos over NFC, it's strictly Windows-to-Windows or Android-to-Android. Check out our quick video demo below to learn more. ALEX DOBIE Europe Editor"AC's resident Brit, cooking up steaming bowls of European Android coverage every day." TWITTER GOOGLE + EMAIL
