Near Field Communication payments by smart phone in Bitcoin

[timeshareafrica]

Friend of mine told me how in Malaysia people paying their bills with their mobile phone and near field communication, (NFC). Seems now there are a few mobile phones available with NFC technik like Nokia C7-00[5], Nokia 700, 701 und 603, smartphone Eluga von Panasonic etc. I am sure it could be integrated to pay bills with bitcoins.

The Android wallet app already supports NFC payments. Unfortunately it's a bit awkward because of Androids stupid "beam" animation. You have to hold the two phones together then the receiver of the funds has to simultaneously tap the screen in order to "beam" the order to the other phone. But it does work.
