MasterCard Releases NFC Developer Kit

MasterCard has announced the availability of a new software development kit (SDK) for its PayPass near field communication (NFC) technology. It will allow mobile development firms and network operators to integrate “tap and go” mobile payment technology into Android and BlackBerry OS 7 apps.
