So, I was reading this, and I found this incorrect paragraph:

"NFC is one of those features. It stands for Near Field Communication. Almost all Android devices now have this capability. It allows you to touch two devices together, and send whatever is on the one device to the other device. It only allows small amounts of information, mainly URLs, but it has proven to be very useful. One of the greatest uses for this is that it allows you to make payments to stores, bus stops, and other services. If they have a NFC enabled device (typically built into a small table looking structure), you can just tap your device against it, and press pay. It’s an extremely easy and safe way to make payments."

Actually, iOS had the NFC App, Bump, before any of Android did. I am unsure of when Bump came out, but its latest update file in the AppStore is version 2.5.7., which was launched on December 20th 2011, which was well before Android had it.

(Android was the first OS to have NFC built in, granted.)
