Yeah NFC and a few other things came to mind when he talked about it. It's an interesting technology but it's just not big enough to make it worth the development time on including it into their devices, but from what I've heard from someone who worked for a large UK phone company Apple did actually accidentally release SKU details that listed NFC, only for it to be missing in action at release. I'm sure they've explored it before declaring it dead in the water.
