App for Sharing Stuff via NFC on Lumia

Nokia Lumia devices share files through NFC and Bluetooth via "Tap and send" (it's only accessable via the files you want to send) but it only works with Windows Phone 8 phones/tablets and PCs running Windows 8. So it should work fine.

For example, if you want to share a picture: first enable Bluetooth and NFC (called "Tap & send") in settings. Go to the picture hub, select a picture (by viewing) and hit the three dots and choose "send...". Now you'll have a selection of possible ways to send this picture to someone. "Tap and send" sould be the first option in the list.

I can confirm it doesn't work with Android devices (just test with my Lumia 925 and Nexus S).

yea tap+send is what you're looking for. if you want to send files to an android device, you must go the old-school way, that is pairing your phones through bluetooth first, and then send the file afterwards.
 
it works in IE if you're trying to send a link to Android.
other than that I think it doesn't work for much else.
I really hope that there'll be a solution to make it work with Android because..well they have 80% smartphone market share.
