[android-developers] Need a NFC compatible Desktop NFC-Reader

Hi everybody,


i'm working on some simple NFC-Applications and i want to realize a
simple scenario, where the Nexus S sends some Text / URI / SmartPoster
to a desktop NFC-Reader.

What i'm searching for is a NFC-Reader which is has the P2P-
functionality. I'm using some simple nfc-read only USB Readers but
actually it is not possible for me to get any result.

- Is it possible to set the nexus s as a passive nfc tag? So the usb
nfc reader thinks that it is reading a simple tag / sticker. At the
current i've used some own applications and the google i/o stickyNotes
app but neither stickynotes nor my own app has registered the usb
reader.

I'm not an expert with the nfc-terminology but i thought that the
Nexus S and any usb reader are both acting as active nfc devices.

I'm using a usb hid(human interface device) reader which outputs some
cryptic ID's if a passive tag(sticker) is scanned but if i want to
"write a tag" with the nexus s nothing happens. There is no new intent
started at the ddms.

Perhaps i'm understanding the whole active / passive device scenarios
wrong.
