Extremely frustrated with carrying around a heap of plastic, cash and a bulky wallet and just loving my iPhone; I quickly mocked up what an RFID enabled iPhone Payment app would look like. Obviously, one could do a lot better and integrate a nice “Receipts” tab inside the app, but I think this is a first step in the right direction.
All I want to do is take out my iPhone, swipe the thing, enter my PIN and complete the transaction. RFID is an awesome proven technology, that allows you to do just that and would be great on a next-gen iPhone. Please Apple help me kill my wallet!

I hate having to carry my wallet around as much as the next guy, but RFID is insecure enough to make me pretty nervous about that possible implementation.
That said, I desperately want to be able to pay for things with my phone. If they can do it in Japan, we can do it here.
