iPhone/Android App Deployment via NFC

is it possible or not?

I've read about that Android is reading tags as you walk by, if you have NFC enabled and automatically

Starts an activity based on the intent. This is described in How NFC Tags are Dispatched to Applications.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/nfc/nfc.html#tag-dispatch

Could it be possible to send a URL to download an application? Like you could deploy an ad-hoc iphone/ipad app.

And how would this work in an iOS environment?

just curious to know...

You could send a URL that eventually downloads an application. The user would have to be involved in the process.

And how would this work in an iOS environment?

It wouldn't, as at the present time iOS does not support NFC.
