Re: A cell pone feature that isn\'t (yet anyways)

I think it will be cool when they develop some mobile-commerce functionality on phones - even just for small purchases. The three things people never leave home without are their keys, wallet, and cell phone. Asia already has phones that use NFC (near field communication) to pay for vending machine items, subway fares, etc.

Yeah, I think it'd be tight if cell phones could incorporate all three things. Cars have keyless starters on them now...maybe my phone could unlock my car when I get close enough, and allow me to start up the car. And then you should be able to pay through your cell.
I'd be way happy if my cell phone acted as a key and a debit card.
