Some day in the not so distant future your clients might be swiping their PHONE rather than their credit card.
Three major cell companies have partnered to form…
the open standards Isis mobile commerce network
Which apparently deals with data being exchanged within inches of the phone dubbed near field communication. Hmmm… the possibilities boggle the mind.

This has been around for almost a decade in Japan! Paying for a dring in a drinking machine, buying at convinient stores, movie theatres and just about everywhere else has been possible for a long time now in japan.
How about when your phone rings a cute mesasage each time you get within a mile or so from a store you purchased in previously. A little message pops up with some deals and info.
That has been around for over 8 years in Israel and some European countries.
And you do not need an iphone for it, almost any phone will do.
We in North America should get with the program.
