From Angry Birds to Fruit Ninja, the NFC-Enabled Future of Mobile Games is Starting

From Angry Birds to Fruit Ninja, the NFC-Enabled Future of Mobile Games is Starting: "Of all of the potential applications of near field communications (NFC) technology, the one we hear the most excitement about these days is mobile payments. And while everybody from tech giants to analysts is predicting that we'll soon be paying for things by waving our phones, this is far from the only current use of the technology.

Mobile gaming is another space that is seeing the effects of NFC. In June, Rovio announced the launch of Angry Birds Magic, which connects the company's popular mobile game to the physical world using NFC and GPS. Players using supported devices can tap their phones together or wave them in front of Angry Birds NFC stickers to unlock new levels and birds in the game"
