Launch Apps / Tasks using NFC

The Nexus 7 has a NFC reader which is the newest feature for smartphones and tablets. This enables two devices to communicate with each other and transfer files/contact details/apps etc just by touching each other. There is also another way you can use NFC which will change the way you look at an old smartcard.

There is a program called NFC task launcher which allows you to activate applications or tasks on your Nexus 7 just by touching a certain card or other NFC device. Try it out free from the link to Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher&hl=en

EDIT: Turns out that you can't use an old smart card to launch tasks etc. You need to buy NFC tags.
