I think that if the iPhone 5 has it then that will be the biggest driver for a few months at least. Though my concerns are about security. I think that it will be useful overall.

It might be handy as another option, but I doubt I'd ever use it much...

I am struggling to think of what I want to use it for. So I have to agree that it might not be used that often. Maybe getting a newspaper, though it depends on the limit per purchase. I might use it for a restaurant that does not accept chip and signature.

I like the idea of NFC for getting more information out of posters etc, but for small payments I much prefer the look of contactless debit and credit cards.

It would be cool to have Oyster card on it. Or pay for things in coffee shops etc...

I am sure that there will be deals with TfL to combine them. As for coffee shops I think that the issue will be the cost of the bank terminals that the shops have to pay for.

So your phone gets debited by waving it past a sensor.

What could possibly go wrong? :roll:

Lots, stolen, abused by a family member, no way of proving that it was not you. So many things could go wrong.

I own a OnePulse credit card from Barclays that is contactless. If I feel I was charged incorrectly (e.g. I didn't buy anything) I can call Barclays and the will give me my money back no questions asked. If I go and I abuse it by asking for too many refunds they will cancel my card, simple as that. So I am not worried about it at all.
Also daily limit on purchases is £15 if I remember correctly.

What danger do you see in that?
