Want NFC But Don’t Have A Nexus S?

If you were jealous that your friends had the Nexus S which has NFC technology built into it, don’t worry because it looks like you could actually built your own NFC hardware thanks to the Arduino. It probably won’t look as pretty as the Nexus S but by all accounts it should get the job done, although admittedly it would really look out of place if you were to bring it to stores that are now using Google’s new NFC payment service, Google Wallet.

Anyway if you want to get your hands dirty and build this NFC yourself, check out the instructions here and if you want to see the video in action, click here for the YouTube link.
