    <p>We are all a little bit lost about NFC Card Emulation in Android. Google and manufacturers are being a little bit too secretive about it. Engineers in charge of the API are IMHO playing a <a href="http://www.nfctimes.com/news/android-card-emulation-expected-despite-doubts-google-engineers">smokescreen</a> game. They claim about the <a href="http://www.nearfieldcommunicationsworld.com/2011/05/11/37352/google-raises-concerns-over-the-viability-of-nfc-card-emulation-mode-for-mobile-payments/">lack of interest in card emulation and they difficulties</a> developers could face, but the fact is that they want to keep <a href="http://www.google.com/wallet/">the hen of the golden egss</a> for themselves for the time being.</p> <p>No one knows a thing about SGII SWP capabilities. All are rumors. The same happens with Nexus S, which faces several problems. Obviously though applications could access embedded SE it would be worthless, since keys are expected to be kept secret by Google. The only way to go is the hope in SWP connectivity between UICC and NFC controller. Theoretically it is possible, and it has supposedly demostrated by Dr. Madlmayr <a href="http://www.madlmayr.at/blog/?m=201102">at last MWC</a>. However I am a bit skeptical about his success taking into consideration that without the manufacturer's cooperation, regarding baseband firmware support on SNS or SGSII, sending APDUs to the UICC, that <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/seek-for-android/browse_thread/thread/661c8fd380d8f832">seems not yet supported</a>, card emulation through UICC is a lost war.</p>
