NFC is not an easy task, but mobile payments are already here

NFC has long been heralded as the holy grail for mobile. Paying with your phone is something that seems so futuristic and rightly so. The idea of getting rid of your wallet and just carrying a phone is tantalizing indeed, but most movements to kill the wallet have gone nowhere. Google Wallet has been around for a while now, but it's yet to see much traction around the world, let alone in the USA. There's a few places you can pay, a few compatible handsets and a few different credit card companies that support it, but you have to really want it to actually bother getting it.
