1. A method comprising:
- establishing, by a first wireless device comprising at least one processor and a first NFC antenna, a first initial communication link with a second wireless device using the first NFC antenna;
establishing, by the first wireless device with the second wireless device, a first subsequent communication link based at least in part on first data communicated over the first initial communication link;
receiving, by the first wireless device, a data file associated with a device icon representing the second wireless device;
displaying, by the first wireless device, the device icon, wherein the device icon is configured to facilitate the transfer of one or more selected files to the second wireless device utilizing the first subsequent communication link;
establishing, by the first wireless device using a second NFC antenna, a second initial communication link with the second wireless device or a third wireless device; and
establishing, by the first wireless device, a second subsequent communication link based at least in part on second data communicated over the second initial communication link.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for connecting, selecting, and/or transferring data files among near field communication (NFC) enabled devices. An initial communication link may be established. A subsequent communication link may be established through an exchange of data communicated over the initial communication link. A data file may be provided facilitating a retrieval and rendering of a first device icon and a second device icon. The first device icon and the second device icon are utilized to transfer one or more selected files over the subsequent communication link.
