That's just so cool. Might raise some concerns though *shifty eyes*

What happens here is that something like this starts, and then all the refinements start coming out. Think tanks take an concept, and then all the flaws get work out, sometimes it works out as a hit and sometimes concepts never really take off, they just die out. will see.

So basically your phone is transmiting your credit card details wirelessly, thats just asking for trouble.

yeah, but think, mastercard is already doing the same thing with their credit cards (the "pay pass" thing)... using RDIF sensors (IE: the "magnetic strips"). You're money, drivers licenses, credit/debit cards, EZ-Pass, etc... all have RDIF tags in them (see i-hacked.com for instructions on make a RDIF blocking wallet).

we were actually just talking about RDIF.
Using them to keep inventory of our stores...
Walk in, wave the sensor around...presto! Theres what we need to order
(simplified of course...lol)

They had this in japan two years ago. I actually included it in some research I did.

So far it looks like the cell phone will end up being a i-pod, phone, email, credit card, phone book, computer, walkie talkie, and god knows what else.

dont forget, flash light, pez, swiss knife, lighter, juicy fruit and all those crazy ideas..

Airport security would never let a phone turn into a swiss army knife.

I liked what the Wachowski brothers did in V for Vendetta in concerns to the cell phone. It seemed pretty realistic to have it as an all-in-one tool (tv remote, etc).
