In case you want to learn which NFC apps works best on the Windows 8 platform, don’t hesitate and take a look over the list from below.

NFC or Near Field Communication represents a short-range protocol used for contactless communication between various devices. You can understand NFC as a simplified WiFi connection, though the terms are quite different. In order to establish the mentioned connection both Windows 8 devices must have support for NFC. You can use this connection for exchanging data but only on a short range distance (less than 2 cm). Of course with NFC you can transfer only small amount of data, but the service is quite useful especially when you need to get something quick and by using high-speed data transfer.
