HP is now ready to produce phones and tablets with built-in near-field communication (NFC) technology for mobile payments, Bloomberg reported on June 13, 2011. Like Google Wallet, which will soon launch for the Nexus S and eventually other Android devices, HP hopes its customers will be able to use the company’s products to make mobile purchases available in retail outlets. HP plans to create an entire ecosystem where users will be able to to receive coupons or other benefits, such as loyalty points, from NFC-enabled advertisements. This will be a great news to all the HP consumers. While sources told Bloomberg the products could launch by year-end, HP hasn’t been known to deliver new mobile devices to the market very quickly in the past. It’s also still unclear who the company’s mobile payment partners will be.
