Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.5 operating system, released in the fall, already supports NFC, a product manager for Microsoft UK has told a UK-based technology Website.
Will Coleman, a so-called developer evangelist and product manager at Microsoft UK, reportedly told TechRadar that no handset maker using the Windows Phone platform had yet chosen to introduce an NFC phone, with an NFC chip inside, but the operating system support is there.
“Think it's just about timing; in the not too distant future there are some exciting things that will be coming through with NFC from Microsoft,” reported the site.
