The NFC thing is hilarious. Our retail store's POS company that we use sent out an email after the keynote talking about what NFC means for us as customers of theirs now that Apple has it.
The whole NFC thing has largely flown under the radar until Apple does it. I realize that they don't have market share. That they make devices that are far behind the curve. That they don't innovate. Yet... when they do something.. it becomes the market standard and pushes the mainstream there.
I think that's really the reason that the apple haters hate them. Apple bashers are the hipsters of the computer world.
