Does anyone know if there are any specifics on writing info into a RFID tag and reading it from Android, Nexus S?

Is there special RFID tag just for Android, or a special RFID writer?

Android 2.3.3 now supports write capabilities, too. Details which tags are supported are here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3.3.html.

I plan to work on several examples how to read and write tags and will publish links on my twitter account @hansamann
