I'm building a custom tag which will use NFC for communications.  It
will support a large
command set, and in the app there will be different buttons, one for
each command.  I would
like to be able to disable the buttons when the tag is removed from
the phone and re-enable
when the tag is brought back into the phone's influence.

I didn't read the isConnected close enough.  Seems this will work but
will still require
my app to check it multiple times a second to enable/disable the
buttons.  One step
better than my app having to send full commands over NFC to poll.

Thanks,
Dean
