Microsoft Windows 8 NFC tablet shown of by NXP and UPM RFID [video]
Microsoft Windows 8 NFC shown of by NXP and UPM RFID at the Build Conference
We have all heard about the Windows 8 NFC tablet and the new NFC facilities being built into Windows 8 for all manner of devices, but until now we haven't really seen this in action. Our friends over at UPM RFID were kind enough to send us a link to a video they shot of that Samsung Windows 8 tablet in full NFC action, reading NFC tags, sharing websites and other content.
You will see in the video how the demonstration shows just how easily the Windows 8 table picks up the tags' presence and then reads it with no trouble at all. NXP worked with Microsoft to get the NFC drivers up to speed for the Build Conference. By the looks of it, they aced the sharing and reading capabilities in the Samsung Windows 8 NFC tablet.

The audio is a little ropey at times, but it does get better as the video plays so please bear with it.
