[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ascsa:
Hi,

the last days I played a lot with my Nexus S and some NFC tags.

One problem was, that most of the NFC tags I have (hotel keycards, lift passes, price tags, merchandising key fobs etc.) are write protected. So no fun with these tags. :mad::mad:

Buying plain NFC tags was an option, but I decided to write a little app (NFC ReTAG) that only reads the ID of the NFC Tag and connects theses tags via a database to various functions (e.g. Toggle Wlan/ Bluetooth, launch installed apps, set ringer mode , navigation, tasker tasks, media buttons, timestamp, browser etc.)
