While other manufacturers refuse NFC technology, Nokia strongly sticks to it. Apple refused it choosing Bluetooth 4.0 and so far I haven’t found any Android device with the NFC functionality (if I am being mistaken, please correct me). Anyway, NFC term has been circulating in the web for a while, which means the ignorance towards it is conditioned by factors other than its popularity. Well, NFC is not intended only for paying via the phone, but also for playing. Some of the games developed by the Nokia Research Center are Nokia World Flags, Nokia Shakespeare Shuffle and Nokia Nursery Rhyme Shuffle.
The above mentioned corporation has mission to explore technology frontiers and solve scientific challenges today, so that tomorrow Nokia delivers irresistible personal experiences. As you see the Nokia Research Center doesn’t sit tight and does its best to help Nokia promote its Symbian Belle devices. I guess you understand which smartphones I am speaking about; NFC-enabled phones including the Nokia C7 Astound, C7-00, 600, 603, 700 and 701.
Well, you can watch the video below and find out a fourth concept (not available) where you tap different parts of a stuffed animal with an NFC phone to launch different games.
At the end, I have to note Nokia is not the first launching games that can be played with NFC-enabled devices. Let’s not forget Rovio, which launched an NFC-enabled version of Angry Birds called Angry Birds Magic. However, Nokia is a most popular brand and both NFC and games like that can become even more popular due to Nokia’s position in the mobile market.
