NFC Responses

Last week Robert talked about Samsung's NFC TecTiles. We received a ton of responses and lots of great suggestions. Donald says that Tagstand.com and Webevolved.com are great places to get cheap and generic NFC tags. He also recommended looking into NFC Task Launcher and InstaWifi. Nick was wondering if he could get some of the same NFC functionality on his device without having NFC capability. Luckily, Eldon wrote in with the suggestion of Llama, which works off of location based profiles.
