A microSD to bring NFC compatibility

Netcom, a Chinese company, has introduced a microSD interesting: in addition to a capacity of 8 GB, she joined the NFC. NFC (Near Field Contact) can send and receive information at a short distance more and more phones integrate this technology, used in particular for electronic payment. The solution still has some drawbacks: it requires that the microSD slot is not behind metal, to avoid interference and the integration of the antenna in the card limits the scope of the technology, already very short in basis.

You also need a microSD connector I / O, to use anything other than the internal memory, and of course a driver for the card. The demonstration was made on a dumbphone China, but drivers should be offered to Android to run. Note that there is another solution, used at the time by Sagem, the integration of NFC with the SIM card.
