          The cons of this are, phone theft will increase therefore putting users safety and lives in some cases at risk as a result mobile phone insurance will increase vastly.
          What kind of security is involved in this.

                  More data stored in one place (phone), more data to steal your identity easier.

                    "What if the phone ran out of battery and you don't have your wallet with you? :p"
                    Haha! This should be rated +1! :D

                    "so what's next??? cellphone with built-in air conditioner, or ice maker, or cellphone that can make money......would be nice..... :)"
                    ...cellphone that can make money --> already done! didn't u read the news! :P

                    "Yay less privacy, more surveillance but more convenience!"
                    You have been assimilated! Your wallet now belongs to US! :P
                    It's good that technology is progressing, but I really don't want to be just one gigantic corporation (Google).
                    I would like to see this tech implemented by some other emerging company!

                        nothing new, i like how they make it seem like it's their idea. Japan has been doing this for a long time.

                              The next step is to allow me to vote for my elected officials from the comfort of my own home or where ever I may be at the moment, have those votes counted and instantly provide me with the results the moment the polls close.
