this might be a dumb question are they touching the back of the phone?

Actually this whole idea of doing a back to back touch is not quite practical given the fact that most users hold the phone with back covered. On human behaviour front i think no one would hug each other back to back

Lets see what Apple comes up with in NFC will they also go by Back to Back hug or get their NFC working with frontal touch.

if Sony stop messing with Android's code we should be enjoying Wi-Fi direct which is quite nice, and apple does use it on OSX Lion, quite convenient

Install smarttags app and add widget on desktop

Enable NFC in setting menu

Put the Sony smarttags at the back (face to NFC, near the len)

Not touch smarttag with the black of phone

But move the phone near to the smarttag at around 1CM away

The distance need to be 1cm, NFC not able detect smarttag if it far away or too close
