Moo’s NFC tagging app hits Google Play, NFC business card not required

Moocom releases NFC management app on Google Play, no fancy NFC business card required

Remember those NFC-equipped business cards Moo promised? Yeah, well, they’re still not ready for mass consumption. But, that’s not stopping the company from making its own NFC tagging app available today on Google Play. Obviously, the intended draw here is to pair the companion app with Moo’s fancy programmable cards. In lieu of that, however, you can always use the company’s software with other NFC tags in your possession to transfer social networking data, phone numbers, contact info and even redirect to specified URLs. The only barrier to entry? You’ll need a handset running Android ICS and up (and, ideally, an actual NFC business card). Head to the source below to demo the free application now.

Moo plans on having the NFC-ready cards available to the masses by 2013 — that said, the startup’s currently running a beta program where it will allow 150,000 lucky folks get a complimentary card with their order of a traditional sheet.
