YC-Funded Tagstand Greases The Wheels Of NFC Development
One of the more exciting technologies on the horizon is NFC, short for Near Field Communication. You've probably heard quite a bit about the technology already: it'll let you pay for things simply by tapping your phone against special sensors, and it's already been integrated into the Nexus S ?�with a slew of NFC-equipped Android devices on the way (iPhone support has been long rumored, but it may not be included in the iPhone 5). Granted, NFC has been "on the horizon" for quite a while now, and it still has a long way to go before it achieves any kind of mainstream adoption. But the potential's there, and plenty of developers are eager to get a head start on the market. There's just one problem: small developers and brands looking to get their hands on NFC stickers often have to deal with long waits, particularly when they're ordering them in small batches.
