Opening the NFC to third parties would not be secure. Ahem.

It shouldn't be surprising! That's too bad though. NFC transfers are great! It's easier than AirDrop and it's cross platform some at least some data types.

For a brief moment I considered the idea of trying iPhone 6. But this was a reminder of how invasive and divisive Apple products are. Apple may lead the app market but Android's open architecture, industry standard connectivity, and complete freedom of music storage pulled me out of that moment of temporary insanity. Whew.

That's weird. I just got an update for my Epson iPrint app and it says it adds support for NFC transfers.
