China and Taiwan

With an initial focus on Android, where NXP's NFC technology
has been incorporated in Gingerbread and is at the heart
of the Nexus S and Google Wallet, the Partner Program will
cover a broad range of applications from smartphones to
feature phones, tablets, laptops, consumer electronic devices
and accessories, adds NXP.
"China and Taiwan are a hot bed for consumer technology
innovation; NXP's new Partner Program will drive NFC adoption
in new devices created here across multiple categories,"
said Henri Ardevol, vice president and general manager,
mobile transactions, NXP Semiconductors. "We expect
China and Taiwan to lead in the global deployment of NFC
and we are committed to supporting innovation in this region."
