Just Tap Your Phone & The Bill Is Paid

Starbucks is what I really like and I am also a big fan of it and also the number of apps, it has produced, with the help of which I can easily pay for the coffee with Barista scan code on my screen. This is quite fast way and it is fun to earn the stars. A scan-less method is hoped next year which will be pretty much easier and available on more devices.

Google Wallet Service

Google Wallet service had been introduced in the early period of this year. This particular technology had already been integrated in some of the Android phones. It does not scan the code instead payments are simply made by tapping the phone on a recognized reader.

Microsoft & Apple To Support NFC Together

DigiTimes has said that Microsoft and Apple have somehow agreed to work together in future and according to them they have planned to support this NFC and will put it in their next Windows iPhone in 2012.

It is not only the view of Apple and Google because other manufacturers are also supporting NFC; it seems very wonderful that what a rocky start it has been given. According to Taiwan makers:

“Without technological problems, the unsmooth development of NFC is mainly attributable to problems in standard specification, ecosystem and commercial operation, the sources indicated.”

SIM Based NFC Protocol

There is also a solution that may work for it and it is to create a SIM based NFC protocol. More than 45 carriers in the world have supported this idea along with AT&T and Verizon which are said to be the largest wireless providers.

Firstly, it was rumored that Apple is supporting NFC for some period of time. Because of their recent filings of the patent, job listing and even comments from the executives of the company this rumored lately turned into a prediction.

An Interesting & Useful Feature

It is quite an interesting feature with the help of which we can do the transactions of the payment on phones. It is a common thing that a man can forgot his wallet and keys in his home but it never happened that someone forgot his cell phone. This is not it. Some of the problems are still there which should be overcome. The thing is that people still have to carry the documents with them and there should be an app for their ease in this respect. According to current situation, we can hope that a time will come when even the driving license will be on our phone.
