Will the DInc get NFC in Gingerbread?

[FrankTheTank369#AC]

Just wondering if the Droid Incredible is capable of handling Near Field Communication (NFC) like the new Galaxy S. Don't know if a special hardware part is needed or if it's just software making use of magnets already built into Android phones.

Here's a video straight from Google demonstrating it. Sadly, it's hosted on Gizmodo.

Needs the hardare chip.

Nope; i don't believe any phone that is currently on the market will, as you need some extra hardware to enable it.

Oh well, though; that keyboard will hold me over!

Alright, thank you Phil and JKK Photography for the quick answers.

Is there anything in the SDK that indicates that NFC SD cards will be supported?

I remember reading about a company that was making NFC SD cards so they could come to the masses rather than the one Nokia phone that had it at the time.
