Any advances in NFC since Nexus S release?

[thesconix]

Does anybody know of some advances in NFC use since the Nexus S? I've heard that Google was planning on handing out cash registers which were equipped with it in New York and San Francisco.

And is anybody interested in what NFC might be able to do? I've heard of quite a bit of possible uses for it that sound pretty cool.

Look for updates for v4.0 of Android ("Ice Cream"). Firmware for Gingerbread is also sent down so that now full NFC capabilities exist
