Sir,

First, the NFC Forum will have to bring out their final specs.
Then, the JSR 257 implementation can be made complete.

Nokia does not hold a monopoly on NFC phones, since the Samsung SGH-X700 is also an NFC-enabled handset. However, Nokia seems to be the most active member of the NFC forum, and has even created its own Peer-to-Peer standard (called NTIP) when the official NFC Forum specs weren't released yet.
And Jaana Majakangas, the author of JSR 257, appears courtesy of Nokia Corporation.

But as of yet, the 6131 NFC is the only mobile phone that has implemented JSR 257. Indeed, I expect other phone manufacturers (that are also part of the NFC Forum) to start creating different NFC phones that can all run the same Java software without it having need to be recompiled.

I believe that last aspect is vital for worldwide NFC development to finally become a reality.

Hello Sir,

Very much enjoyed the Blog.

When will the JSR 257 been finalized by Sun and agreed upon by NFC Forum? Your blog implies that the other handset makers will incorporate NFC into their phones using this generic software? Have any other handset makers been successful in this regard to date, or does Nokia hold a monopoly on NFC phones?

Thomas,

I don't know how to establish a peer to peer connection, yet. The NFC Forum hasn't provided any specs for it.

When I was going through the documentation, there were certain text parts that did not correspond to the actual specs.
For instance, the docs stated that there would be Bluetooth support, and as you so rightly asked, NFC_PEER mode support.

Since the documentation has already been written, this tells me Nokia already has a beta version undergoing testing right now, and is waiting for the NFC Forum to release the final specs before they release their SDK.

Hi Danny,

Do you know how to establish a NFC peer to peer communication with this JSR 257 ?
Do you know what are the readers compliant with the new 6131 ?

And thanks for this interesting Weblog!

It needs now some screencasts and example projects to run on the new 6131 as soon as we have it :)
