Google Promoting NFC In Portland

Last week I wrote about Google’s push of Near Field Communications (NFC), particularly with the release of the Nexus S. NFC supports short range radio communication so you can simply place the phone near the radio, which is very small, and communication occurs without any action on the user’s part. One of the ways that NFC can be used is by placing the radios on posters and stickers, which is how Google plans to use the technology in Portland.
