Following our [Briefing](http://prote.in/?/briefings/2011/06/nfc-internet-on-everything&ref=protein.xyz) last year, It would seem that the NFC Revolution is expanding rapidly. Near Field Communication (or NFC) technology enables smartphones to work with payments and public transit systems, however Sony have launched a new accessory to make the wireless innovation much more personal.

SmartTags are small programmable tokens that give your Android phone a series of commands to keep you from performing repetitive tasks. For example, swiping your phone on a nightstand could switch your phone to silent, turn off mobile connections and set your alarm for the following morning.

Representatives at Sony during the CES said that consumers should expect a second-quarter release and a price-point of ‘around $30’ for a set of four tokens. Those interested in programmable NFC smart tokens should also check out the [NFC Task Launcher](https://sites.google.com/site/nfctasklauncher/home?ref=protein.xyz) website, which offers more information about the technology.
