Apple say that they don't intend to put that in an iPad because they want you to buy an iPhone probably. I want to be able to control the camera, not just transfer pictures to a Cloud somewhere. I'll try to find another tablet which offers a NFC chip Inside. I might get lucky. I know that my Samsung phone doesn't have one.
I think you're misinterpreting what NFC can do. NFC has an extremely short range (a few inches), and it's often used to get two devices to quickly start a Wi-Fi connection (much larger range), but you can also make Wi-Fi connects without NFC. Also, a few inches is unpractical as a remote. I also used to own a NEX-5T, which also has NFC and Wifi, and I had no problems connecting the camera with my non-NFC iPhone by Wifi.
Ultimately, we'll get the answer when the camera and app are actually released, but my bet is that remote is done by Wifi, and NFC is an optional convenience.
