MasterCard Releases NFC SDK, Supports BlackBerry 7

Any time new tech arrives it needs support to actually take off. NFC is a perfect example of this in that it has needed to gain traction publicly to garner belief that it will stick around as a part of modern tech.

MasterCard has now announced its new NFC SDK and has made it available for a few different platforms, including BlackBerry 7. This SDK supports PayPass Tap-and-Go transactions via NFC for BlackBerry devices with the capabilities (sorry Torch owners).
