Chris Hafner on 21 Jan 11At some point I hope. A different proprietary swipe system is used in Japan by a majority of the population for day to day transactions. The reason why I like this is simple: The technology is not specialized, proprietary or restricted in any way. The Japanese system requires secured chips imbedded in cell phones (or their cases) belonging to a system that everyone uses through their banks. This system simply uses your credit card transmitted through a bar code.
