The program kicks off with the launch of the „Tap Into NFC“ website, which includes a revolving product showcase in which NFC developers can share their applications with their peers. To celebrate the launch, the NFC Forum will host a Twitter contest October 16-23. Using #Tapin2NFC, developers are invited to share what they like most about the program and site, including favorite products from the product showcase. A winning tweet will be selected at random and the winner will receive an NFC-enabled wearable device
The first products featured in the NFC Product Showcase include:
- NFC Ring — The NFC Ring can be used to unlock doors and mobile phones, transfer information, and link people.
