Or giving your card to the waiter who goes off to swipe it at the pos safer? This is way safer than "cards in the clear" Embedding your card info in a encrypted device that can lock and that never reveals your card information in the clear to another person is way safer, not to mention easier. How many of us have gone out pubbing with pals and left our card or gotten the wrong card back only to realize it the next morning. You are way less likely to leave behind your "communicator" than your card. I just had this happen to me on Friday. paid for drinks and when i clsoed the tab, i got Jarron's card not mine... But I left with my phone aok. J. Think about Safety in a whole new way. is putting your card in a leather wallet inside your pocket safer?

MC PayPass uses near field communication making the card (credit and debit cards enabled) a simple tap and go purchase. the trial that visa announced is yet to start but also uses nfc fucntionality.

I know I would be protecting my phone far more than I do now if my phone had this particular chip embedded in it. :) I can see the incidents of cell phone thefts going up exponentially here in the USA. even though this is a common handset idea in Asia, I don’t know that Americans are quite ready for something like this.
