chaosmachine Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrxZ7gR1QNU The scanner seems kind of dumb (where is the bluetooth?), but paying via a smart phone is definitely a nice idea. You could keep digital receipts to track all your purchases, etc.
Guest ezkerraldean Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 one day we will have like bracelets or even little implant chips up our arse that magically pay for everything using ELECTROMAGNETIC RAYS.
YEK Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 one day we will have like bracelets or even little implant chips up our arse that magically pay for everything using ELECTROMAGNETIC RAYS. i totally agree

chenGOD Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 HOLY CRAP THAT'S AMAZING! ONLY IN AMERICA! seriously? how is this considered novel in any way shape or form? because it's an app?
chaosmachine Posted September 24, 2009 Author Posted September 24, 2009 HOLY CRAP THAT'S AMAZING! ONLY IN AMERICA! seriously? how is this considered novel in any way shape or form? because it's an app? yeah, i know you can pay for everything with a cell phone in japan. this is basically the same thing, but with more potential, because of the app platform.
chenGOD Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 not only japan. and seriously if korea (non-axis-of-evil korea) has had the ability to pay for everything by phone for at least 4 years, where the fuck has the states been? I mean you already touched on it, why the fuck do they have to use a scanner. And the idea that you have to load money separately on to the phone app. I don't see it is having much more potential than the way things are in Japan/Korea...where phones can basically be used as credit/debit cards.
FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I like the idea of a digital receipt....but why did she hand him a paper receipt as well? Just seems tedious as fuck. I have a feeling that the future is going to be a bit more Fallout 3 tho.
Bubba69 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 But wait, really? There solution involves scanning a barcode printed on the screen of the phone. Couldn't they figure out something more clever than that? I don't know it just seems kind of silly to me.
chenGOD Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 yeah chaqosmachine touched on that with the whole need for a scanner. I didn't mean to be a downer in this thread, I was tired as hell last night and this just seemed silly. But it'll be a big seller, because of the parties involved. It's just ridiculous that people in North America get shafted like this when it comes to mobile IT.

Joyrex Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Didn't Starbucks have this feature when the iPhone first came out, where you could order your drink in line ahead of time?
Dale Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 why are we still using money.. he's just subtracted some numbers from the screen of his i-phone to access a drink
