Great. Thanks Kenneth for the detailed reply. I'll give Android Chrome a go. Just one question on the implementation that's not clear from the spec: Is it possible to differentiate from the value of navigator.nfc whether Web NFC is either not implemented, not active because there are no NFC devices, or not available because it's in use? It would be good to tell these apart so that the user can be given a helpful message to get it working.
