switch from Apple to Android?
I currently have the iPhone 4S that I've been very happy with but I want a bigger screen. I know that Apple will be coming out with new models soon and may be going to a bigger screen but assuming it doesn't go to 5" I am considering going to the Samsung S4. The S4 seems like a very nice phone but I'm nervous about switching to the Android system though. Can anyone experienced with both systems and/or the S4 offer a comparison for me? I'm also considering the forthcoming Note 3.
Thanks in advance... Bob

It is offcially Called Near Field Communication. have you Seen the Ads for the Samsun Galaxy s3 or s4 where they would bump the backs of the phone and then would share a photo/Video/Music or etc? While Samsung Tweaked it t do that but Generally it is to transmit Data wirelessly ( Has to be close to each other). Mind you this is not the technical terms of this and this is from what i can gather using my knowledge of what i know

Near Field Communication also allows for contactless payments in stores that have the terminals for it. Google Wallet uses NFC. You can also use NFC tags set up in various places to change settings and perform actions on your phone. NFC has many uses. Unfortunately, I don't think that it will catch on in a big way until Apple puts it into an iPhone. Android devices started using NFC around two years ago (the hardware was there earlier) and BlackBerry devices have had NFC for a while. High-end Windows Phone 8 devices have NFC, as well. So I am waiting for Apple to come to the NFC table so that widespread acceptance/usage can happen.
