NFC allows your device like a Smartphone or Tablet to read information just by being near another object.

In this case a Beer mat has had an NFC chip embedded into it, allowing a web address or other information to be stored and retrieved.

I expect this to be really popular over the coming year as a new way to reach consumers while they are having their favorite tipple.

NFC opens up new avenues for merchants, advertisers and consumers to connect with the world around them and each other.

Beer Mats are just one example of a range of new Near Field Communication products that are hitting the market over the next few months.

RapidNFC offers some of the newest innovations at a reasonable price.

What I really love about all this NFC Beer Mat talk is how it shows the industry adapting to move NFC into the consumer market, sticker tags are great but it##Q##s not until regular consumer objects become NFC enabled that people will really understand what NFC can do for their lives.

NFC Beer Mat, who doesn##Q##t understand that as a concept?

Also of note is that Samsung have branded NFC in the S3 handset as S beam S Beam – The Near Field Communication transfer moves on from the standard ICS based NFC now tapping  phone##Q##s together enables transfer  in a faster and more user friendly way.

How does NFC work

NFC uses small chips sometimes called TAGS that have no power of their own but when scanned by an NFC reader a small electromagnetic charge brings the NFC tag to life and the data contained can be read back by the reading device. A device can be both a reader and able to write to NFC tags and TAGS themselves can be write once or written too many times over.

What Android Devices support NFC

At the moment only the Samsung Galaxy S2 (with NFC), Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Huawei Sonic (with NFC) & HTC Ruby (with NFC) have NFC built in, most are capable of reading and writing to NFC TAGS but currently a bug in Ice Cream Sandwich 4.02 (The Operating System for the phone) prevent authoring of some tags. 4.03 is due soon and should fix things.

What can you put NFC TAGS into?

The great thing about NFC TAGS is they are relatively small, so far I have seen NFC placed into Stickers, Keyfobs, Wrist Straps & Posters over time the tags will get even smaller allowing for even more unique uses. Remember Sticker Tags are only at the start of their journey anything you can stick a tag on just became a Smart Object capable of being scanned and offering data, the possibilities are endless.

A few ideas for using NFC TAGS

Due to the small size of NFC TAGS Keyfobs and Wristbands make ideal use for Nightclubs and Restaurants, contained in the TAG could be the owners ID allowing staff to check age or ensure a checked in coat goes back to the right owner. hooked up to door entry systems it could help keep private areas sealed off or provide quicker access to staff instead of button entry or fumbling for a key. Personal use could include encoding a link to your Youtube Channel so people can subscribe from their mobile phone or watch your latest video.
