Yeah I didn't see anything in the Windows app store and Samsung only lists Android and IOS as having apps. So I think it's unlikely. Bummer.

I'm working with an iPhone right now. I need to test out the ability to upload straight to the phone. Can you do it without a wifi connection, or do you need to be connected?

That was one thing I liked about the idea of NFC was that you don't need wifi to transfer files.

shark81,

You've got the wrong idea about NFC. NFC was only meant for 2 NFC devices quick recognizing. The connection and files sharing still with WiFi or Bluetooth connection.

In Samsung NX300 NFC case, it'll help any NFC enabled Android devices touching it to,

  1. Auto launching installation of Samsung Smart Camera App through Play Store, if the apps not install yet.
  2. Auto run Samsung Smart Camera App, if this apps already installed.
  3. After Samsung Smart Camera App running, the NX300 will connect to Android devices through WiFi connection for any camera function or files sharing.

If you're using any IOS devices to connect to NX300 you have to,

  1. Manually install Samsung Smart Camera App from App Store first.
  2. Manually turn on WiFi function on the phone and NX300.
  3. Make sure iphone WiFi connection connected to NX300 WiFi network.
  4. Manually click Samsung Smart Camera App icon on the phone and make sure it was connected to NX300 camera.
  5. After Samsung Smart Camera App running normally, the NX300 will connect to IOS devices through WiFi connection for any camera function or files sharing.

For myself, I had successfully connecting NX300 to any of my, 1 set of Samsung Galaxy S4, 3 sets of Galaxy Note2-LTE and 2 sets of Note3-LTE, 1 set of Galaxy Note 10.1 Android devices.
