- Getting it to work perfectly as users would like THAT is going to take time, and specially ressource from Myriad in order to make sure that NFC is available to all the wireless payment android apps, etc.

Do we really need Alien Dalvik?

Btw. I've never used NFC in my life. I don't consider the whole Android Pay things a great solution, anyway.

BT is difficult because of what controls the device, SailfishOS uses Bluez4/5 and Android uses Bluedroid and you would need to write some kind of middleware to translate. BT is also quite complicated compared to NFC which is mostly fairly simple.
The main trick with NFC would be around message routing, how you do know which app has the NFC focus at any given time between Dalvik and Sailfish OS.

Also we've moved on from sfdroid and are trying to get Anbox working on Sailfish, once we get over the kernel patch situation (issue being we can't get it to boot with a 3.4 kernel, ie. on my Nexus 5), then I can go to town on the anbox image and get sensors and stuff working.

NFC is is the same for me. Don't really need it.
