Apple recently filed a patent that shows they intend to use NFC technology to buy music in iTunes.
This is great news because the iPhone 5 is due for release on the 3rd Quarter of 2012 and this is when NFC will go mass market as apple will do what apple do best and educate the public on how they can easily use new technology…. speaking as a mac user this is why we love apple.
The adoption rate of NFC is on a massive upward curve with all the latest android phones like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus having NFC as well as the latest Blackberry handsets so NFC is growing in numbers of hundreds of thousands per month.
You heard it hear first so watch this space.
