Hi Folks, just found another good youtube video that i wanted to share. This really explained how NFC works and what you can do with your new NFC tags. Pretty cool to see specially to people still not aware of this new technology. Please do take 13 minutes of your time to view the video and tell us how cool is that. :)
This video covered almost everything you need to know for NFC 101. So stay put .....
thanks aphroditelikesme!

I have been sourcing references along different websites. I wanted to know how to choose generic NFC tags that i can use for most  phones. Well, found it finally. I guess below states and explain the different descriptions for each NFC and RFIC tags out in the market as today. Normally, for generic NFC tag falls under categories with IC Chip Mifare , standard of ISO/IEC14443 and within frequency of 13.56MHz. This will ensure that it will work on most NFC enabled handphones.  Although, it may not be under these so called "categories", some devices may still work with other tags as well, 

Then you have to look at the memory capacity of a certain tags. Normally, one action is taking about 4-11 bytes like activating ringtones, toggling display , etc. The most commonly used out there is 1K capacity. I am yet to receive my 4K capacity memory to try. Seriously, 1K seems enough for a start. I can do almost everything and create my own profile of fun. 
Take your time and look at below chart. Which one have you tried today?

Once again, this is no surprise. The new upcoming Blackberry 10 comes with NFC features.  This is the most promising OS ever from Blackberry featuring new one swipe change of profile, no buttons and has more rigid security system built.
This will be the pilot phone from blackberry to catch up with the market. Check out more information on - http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/100-blackberry-10-os-screenshots-emerge-reveal-evernote-nfc-siri-like-voice-assistant-320698.

Not a surprised for me, Panasonic came up with Lumix DMC-ZS30 with NFC Enabled. This will easily recognize, connect and share with any smart devices in single tap. hooray!  Check on the following url for more details.

Wait theres more to 2013, how about LG smart appliances like oven or refrigerator ? Recipe send to Oven for details. With one tap, you can easily get everything  you need to cook. Nice job LG,  keep it up! How i wish pc makers can  have NFC enabled soon and with one tap it will automatically turn on with my profile :)   Awessomeness!

Situation-based profilesUndoubtedly, the most common way Android owners are using NFC tags is to efficiently adjust a series of system settings based on the arrival or departure of commonly visited locations. Here are a few examples.

At home
Put an NFC tag near your door and set it to do things like: enable Wi-Fi, decrease brightness, disable Bluetooth, and auto-sync. Using NFC Task Launcher, you can program the tag to "switch," so that when you exit your house and tap the tag for the second time, it changes those settings (like disabling Wi-Fi.) - Tried this and this is really awesome!

Driving in the car
Stick an NFC tag somewhere near your dashboard or middle console and have it disable Wi-Fi, increase volume, and enable Bluetooth (for a headset). If you have your phone hooked up to the car's speakers, program the tag to fire up an app like Pandora.
-- Well, no car to test :(
Getting to work
Place the NFC tag on a phone dock or your desk's surface and program it to decrease brightness, disable sounds, enable Wi-Fi, and enable auto-sync. Depending on your habits, you might also have it launch a music app, open your daily to-do list, and even check you into Foursquare.

If you use the Switch option, you can tap the tag again on your way out and have it disable the previously enabled features. And, if you're an extra attentive husband or wife, the tag can also be programmed to send your loved one a text message alerting them that you've left the office and are on the way home.  - this is great, i use this to send auto sms to my gf.. heheh. ;)

On the bedside table
If you have a phone dock by your bed (or want to DIY your own), place a tag near the dock and program it to disable sounds, enable any alarms, disable auto-sync, disable the notification LED, and decrease the brightness.

Working out
The fitness types might benefit from an NFC tag on their workout armband or gym bag. For zero distractions, program the tag to enable airplane mode. Or, use the tag to fire up your favorite fitness app and playlist or streaming music app.

Little-known uses and unique ideasGive access to your Wi-Fi network
If you'd like to give guests at home (or at an office) access to your Wi-Fi network without giving up your password, check out InstaWifi. The free Android app lets you program an NFC tag that, when tapped with an NFC-enabled device, gives the phone or tablet instant access to the associated Wi-Fi network.

Download the app from the Google Play store to get started (link).

Auto-start timers
How many times have you loaded the washing machine, walked away, and completely forgot you were doing your laundry? Put an NFC tag next to your washing machine and dryer that, when tapped, fires up a timer.

Get shortcuts to specific Evernote notes
With Touchanote, a free app that won the Evernote Developers Competition, tags can be programmed to link directly to specific notes. Their examples include a tag on your desk that opens a to-do list, or placing a tag near a product that links to a note with instructions on how to use it. For more examples and the full walkthrough, check out the video on YouTube. You can download Touchanote from the Google Play Store now (link).

Thank you, Twitter user @anderdbergmark for the tip!

Quickly pair with a Bluetooth keyboard
I asked for your ideas on Twitter and user @litcritter suggested sticking an NFC tag on the back of a portable Bluetooth keyboard. Tap once to enable Bluetooth, and tap again to disable it when you're done typing. Neat idea!
