Would you pay for your lunch with your phone?

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

If the waiter bought across a chip & pin sized device, but all you had to do was wave your phone over it and enter a PIN, would you be happy?

payments with your phone

There’s a lot happening in the mobile payment world, with companies trialing systems, meeting dead ends and big companies partnering to start pushing the boundaries. But what really matters is, how do we all feel about it?

Does it meet your high expectations of security, simplicity and convenience? Are there any fears coming up, like if someone stole your phone or you lost it, phone and penniless!

Personally I think it sounds great because there’s no need for a wallet any-more and it means you can start paying for things even easier than ever, but then again does that mean people would want to steal my phone?

We’d really like to know how you feel about the whole caboodle, what scares you, what makes you think “wicked”, what things you’d probably use it for?
