"Many of the major smartphone platform providers -- BlackBerry, Symbian, Android, Bada, WP7 and others -- are members of the NFC Forum," the Forum's Arnold pointed out. "We look forward to their contributions as we continue to develop specifications to move the technology forward and to ensure that NFC is globally interoperable."
Google in February introduced an update to Android 2.3, also known as "Gingerbread," that would give it NFC capabilities.
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), which was reportedly working on an NFC feature for its iOS mobile operating system, has apparently pulled back from plans to introduce that capability, at least for now.
RIM introduced two BlackBerries with NFC capabilities at BlackBerry World earlier this month -- the 9900 and the 9930.
