Print & Mobile Phones: QR Codes, NFC Square Off

Programming NFC tags is currently not as commonplace. Anyone who buys an NFC-enabled mobile device can create NFC tags—the problem is the availability of smart phones that currently support NFC. You can purchase turnkey solutions from Nokia, Tagstand, et al., which are pre-programmed (the most basic programming resolves to a URL). Or, as more NFC phones become available, you will be able to program your own with any NFC device, some tags and a tag-writer app.
