Thinkcomp: I am happy for you, then, and wish you the best, f course. However, I must agree with Oliver and echo his sentiments precisely. NFC should be here <i>now</i>. And if there's any company to bring NFC to mass adoption, it is Apple.
A shame, if true. Apple (maybe to a lesser extent, Google too) is the only company who could get mass adoption of NFC in a timely and intuitive fashion.<p>Carrying wallets around feels so retro, considering we have the technology to solve this already in our pockets.
I can confirm that this is true: the iPhone 5 will not have NFC built in. It's very good news for our startup, even though we'll use it on other platforms as soon as we can.
