Can PIC microcontrollers be equipped with NFC modules?

[bancroft]

I want to develop an Android App, which needs to communicate with the PIC microcontroller for data and commands. Since the amount of data is small, I would like to use the NFC method of communication. Can I use the corresponding module for the PIC microcontroller? Or, which one do you recommend, Bluetooth or NFC? The simpler the better, mainly in terms of program development complexity.

Google is your friend.

I think Bluetooth is more popular. Microchip has a slew of wireless evaluation kits to choose from. Your best bet is contact their support center and explain what you are trying to do.

BLE is convenient. You have a choice of using modules that simply look like uarts, or for the more adventurous, other BLE services.
Is power an issue at the PIC end?
