If this is the case I am sure they will have someone look into the possibility of integrating this card system in their wallet.
If the card indeed does make sense, it won't be too late to do both NFC and the card. The fundamental core of the wallet is not the NFC technology but the ecosystem that it is trying to build.
- rjd 15y agoThe cards are a NFC system designed by Visa. There is no if, its in public field trials ATM, at least one event had 200,000 people at it. Visa has deployed terminals at all the sporting events and to pubs around the stadiums. What is going to be fun is near field sniffers, harvest peoples data etc... I can imagine walking through a crowd and sniffing out dozens of cards etc... the problem of course will be using the data, unless you can work out a way quickly convert small value purchases to cash...
- vicngtor 15y agorjd: If you are afraid of something like the Android Beam, then I would be too worried. Any sensitive data will have at least a password level nfc security measure to prevent sniffing. It's not like you can just take your NFC enabled device and sniff devices with google wallet installed. You would require explicit permission to gain any data.
