So, with the Google Wallet launch (for androids with NFC), and rumors of the iPhone 5 possibly having NFC, how trivial would it be to add bitcoin support for transactions?    Having a bitcoin wallet app that utilized such feature would be F-ing sweet.
 
Obviously it would need support for clicking on a "yes send this payment" lest you be robbed of your bit coins, but I see potential here!!
 
Of course if you knew what you were gonna buy, you could transfer just a set amount instead of your whole btw wallet.
 
Thoughts?  Opinions?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I agree.  A phone-based bitcoin wallet that can convert to NFC-enabled payments is inevitable
