this is basicly just a rfid creditcard buildt into the handset.
from what i understand you cant read any info about how much money you have left to spend and so on from inside the phone itself. hell, if you change your phone you have to get your card reissued onto said phone. only reason we see this from japan is that docomo (the ma bell of japans cellphones) allso own a creditcard issuer and a bank. basicly you have all the services you ever wanted all rolled into one. i wonder where the anti-trust lawyers are... |

All we need is for the avian flu to kill most of the population and for magic to reawaken. Also, nuclear missiles have to stop detonating.
