BENQ T80 - Windows mobile application using NFC

[Mehdi Lefouili]

Hello,

I'm investigating the way we could implement a Windows mobile application using NFC in order to read an ISO 14443 card. I know that we could do it using J2ME (JSR257) but as the BENQ T80 is running the Windows mobile OS we want to implement a .NET application. I've read somewhere that Sirit is working with Microsoft to provide APIs for NFC. My question is : Do you know if these APIs are available ? If yes, do you have documentation on how we could use them ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Mehdi,

These APIs are not available. We have already requested them, but for now, the solution from BenQ is using the JVM. We have also tried to bind the DLLs in the system but the port with the NFC chip is already opened by the JVM, and it doesn't allow more connections.

Best regards,

Jose

Thanks Jose for your quick reply. I will then develop the application in J2ME.
