Jonathan, I think you'd be disappointed if you had stood in line for NFC. NFC is not widely used yet and according to many articles I have read the places that have NFC do not generally even have the system activated. I believe NFC is still a good year away at a minimum since there needs to be much wider adoption before it really can be considered viable. HOwever, barcodes and digital gift cards looks to be a greater opportunity for everyone.
