The NFC Forum today launched the NFC Developer Program, a series of resources aimed to help developers create NFC-enabled apps. The NFC Developer Program will include events, as well as web-based tools, such as SDKs, tech specs, news, and product highlights. The NFC Forum believes this program will help catalyze developer interest in NFC and bringing it to their applications. The NFC Forum is hosting a product showcase to help spur interest in the program. Developers can find the pertinent details on the new Tap Into NFC web site. Most mid-range and high-end smartphones include NFC radios. To-date, NFC is generally used for pairing devices, though efforts such as Softcard and Apple Pay rely in NFC for mobile payments.
