Another thing I just realized, does this now mean Amiibo could be used with iPhone/Samsung Galaxy (etc.)?

Those phones all have an NFC reader.

OMG yeah that would be a huge push or the amiibo platform.

If they have their dedicated gaming hardware, amiibo, QoL and mobile platform all strongly tied together giving benfits to those who own all (such as PS+ being better if you own Vita, PS3 and PS4) this could be freaking huge for them

Maybe you can get a free Nintendo game per every Amiibo scanned. You can get a free mobile game per Amibo, they would sell a lot of figurines and don't loose that much money.
