indeed experts reckon apple will have a version of nfc which works from the iphone through itunes account only,apple will no doubt make much profit through this restriction and thus call it by a different name like ipmfnfc....i pay more for near field communications!!

Apple still seems to be content marketing a consumer phone, as opposed to a professional phone. NFC seems to be a staple more so to professionals, and Apple will happily let other companies eat the cost on developing the tech. I do not think the people who want the next iPhone will worry one second it is not on there. I think it is an interesting tech, and do hope NFC is part of most mobile devices in a couple of years.
