I'm trying to create a custom NFC reader/writer. I've been able to use a linux machine with Eclipse to write a java program (and daemon) that controls a reader writer like an ACR122U. So basically on shutdown and startup, it can read nfc data and then transmit it. But now I want to downsize this. I want to put breadboard together a device that is way smaller (palm of your hand) that reads an NFC tag/phone and transmits it back through a serial port (I'm assuming that's easiest). I understand I need a microcontroller and a PN5XX chip. I'm thinking I need a flash rom to put the instructions on. Does anyone know how I could get started creating this?

You could start by using an Arduino paired with this shield to interface with NFC tags. The Arduino is capable of communicating with the PC over USB.
Once you have a prototype built with the Arduino and NFC breakout board you could buy all the required components in miniature discreet form.
