TazTag has revealed that they will be showing off their latest TazPad Android tablet at CeBIT this week. What’s so special about the tablet is that it will be the first NFC-enabled Android tablet to hit the market when it is released. Although we have yet to find much use for NFC, at least in this side of the world, it’s good to know that manufacturers are beginning to future-proof their tablets just in case NFC catches on in a big way. The TazPad packs a 7″ display, full HD support, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, and ZigBee (a standard of communication used in low-powered devices). Besides the shipping date (Q2 2011) No other details have been revealed about the tablet at the moment. Can you see tablets being used as a popular NFC device?

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.

NFC stands for Near Field Communication, which is a standard for low-speed wireless short range communications between electronic devices. Popular applications of NFC are public transportation passes and some form of electronic wallet, but many more applications remains to be tested and implemented. NFC is a cousin of RFID and uses some of the same communications protocols.
