Flomio surpassed its $80K Kickstarter campaign goal -- with hours to spare -- to bring NFC technology to the Apple world. Powered by many donations big and small from the Miami startup community and others around the world, Flomio will now put the $96,145 raised into producing its product, the FloJack.
FloJack is a pocket-sized NFC (Near Field Communication) reader and writer that brings the power of NFC to the iPad, iPod Touch and the iPhone. Trggered by touch, NFC is a wireless technology that connects your phone to the devices around it in order to trigger new experiences. Until FloJack, it hasn't been available for iPhone, Flomio says.

Flomio. As a resident of South Florida I want to thank you for becoming a role model for other startups to follow. You give a great example that this side of the country can produce awesome things as well. Si se puede!
