NXP Semiconductors, supplier of NFC chips and software for Android smartphones, has developed its own Android app for those phones–enabling users to write content to NFC tags. The "NXP TagWriter" enables users, as well as merchants and other service providers, to write such content as business card information, URLs for mobile Web sites and SMS messages. They could then be attached to surfaces or embedded in posters, business cards and watches, for example, said NXP today in announcing the app. This could enable users to launch applications automatically to make calls, open Web sites and send text messages, the Netherlands-based chip maker said.
Update: NXP told NFC Times it does not see the app itself as a mainstream consumer application, but one to help developers "integrate NFC into their current and new mobile applications for Android. " It's not clear why NXP had to develop its own app to encourage third party developers to also develop them.
