I ordered some from here: http://www.tagage.net/tagage-shop/
I have not received those yet. They ship out of Finland. I did speak with the guy who runs the shop it seems and he indicated that it usually takes 5-7 days post to reach the US, at which point who knows how long customs will keep it (I've had things breeze through and things get held a week for no apparent reason). They are very well priced though.
I also ordered some from here: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10128
These are what I am testing on now, they are a nice, small tag and since they are US based come quickly. They are quite a bit more expensive though ($2.95 / tag not including shipping).
OP updated with testing results as well. So far so good
wow, way to change NFC from completely useless to ridiculously awesome. going to buy some after everything gets worked out. Can't wait for more ideas to come out of these, combining these with tasker is going to be great.
If you could contact the dev of that you could make the size required for actions almost nothing, just assigning them a value and tasker could take the value and do the actions you are having the tags report.

I am just waiting on delivery of my tags, ordered last week but I'm UK so they might take a few days.
Is it possible to interface your app with Tasker? That way we could have infinitely more activities take place when the phone is placed near a tag.
Instead of the tag needing to contain all the activities, it could just set a variable and Tasker would be set to perform whatever actions when that variable is set.

Just been looking at UK suppliers (who do cheap tags) and come across these:
http://www.rfidshop.com/30mm-mifare-1k-s50-sticker-discs-1184-p.asp
Given they're mifare 1k based tags can't see any reason why they wouldn't be compatible with the NS - is anyone able to confirm please?
<edit>
In fact that place seems to have a few types of tags - keyfobs, window stickers

Just make sure you get the HF cards (13.56 MHz) and now the lower frequency option and it ought to be fine.
I am looking in to this. As I don't use tasker I don't really know how it's used outside of speculation. The developer has a nice site set up though and it appears to be externally accessible.
Update 3/14:
Added integration with Tasker. It seems to be working fine for me (I just created a few test tasks, I don't use tasker). Anyone that uses Tasker and has tags available to test?
Updated OP with a quick demo video and new SS of the UI

Soon,
I saw above that you have tags. Do you use tasker?
I have a few more things I want to clean up and then I'll get a version up in the market and put an apk here as well.

Pm me your gmail address. When I get home tonight I'll send you an APK.

PM'd. If I can get confirmation that Tasker integration is working for others (as well as read/write) then I'll go ahead and do an initial release.
Well, it works well enough for me, so I went ahead and did an initial release. Details in the OP.

Where to get Tags?

If you'd like to see some functionality added feel free to make a request.
The APK linked below is free of the license check of the Market version and is fully functional for 7 days.

For anyone who decides to purchase the app after using the APK attached to the thread - un-install the free version first otherwise the market installation fails.
Here's a few videos I made for a current demo:

SOLVED!
NFC.apk has 3 ogg files in res\raw: start.ogg, end.ogg, and error.ogg. The start sound plays first, then either the end sound if success or the error sound if no success. I opened each file in Audacity, did Edit|Silence Audio, and saved (i.e., exported the file). I replaced the original sound files with the silenced sound files, and now my NFC is totally silent. And, since NFC Task Launcher has a sound/silent/vibrate option, I now have total control over my NFC notifications.
The modded sound files and the modded NFC.apk are in the attached zip, if anyone wants them. NFC.apk goes into system/app, with rw-r--r-- permissions. Or, use the modded sound files on your own NFC.apk. Mine shows an August 1, 2008 date in properties, if that helps.
NANDROID, and BACK UP your original NFC.apk, just in case.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.2
None that I am aware of. If you could find a local robotics type shop you might have some luck, but it's still a "niche" product.2Hey Great work krohnjw! I just bought this app and love it. My only gripe was that I am able to set profiles up fine, EXCEPT the ringer profile function doesn't seem to work? everything else is working ie. bluetooth disable, wifi enable. but the ringer profile wont change (silent and vibrate don't work). Other then that, I've been having a blast coding these tags and showing off @ work
Are you using a MIUI rom? This is a problem with versions since .16 which stops programmatic setting of vibrate and silent modes.1Correct, tags are writing fine now.
It didn't affect the wristband tag, however with a sample size of 1 that's not a 100% reliable answer/test
Small sample sizes are always the best
The first write formats the card to NDEF - the format function itself writes the NDEF message. All subsequent writes use the write functionality of the NDEF Tag type. Not much I can do there, but they do differ for what it's worth.
Also, 1.4 is up in the OP and published to the Market (it takes a while to propagate it seems).
