If you want to study a near field USB token, and payment system, I have
access to special knowlege and people - having worked to manufacture the
token electronics, for a pilot deployment in a Phiillips-backed initiative.
The technology didnt change the dymanics of wallet or payment services
adoption, however, compared to earlier product/service concepts.
If its true that we get a USB host in every new phone in the next 3 year -
addressing some of the legacy dynamics, AND, if USB over wireless also
makes it at the same power consumption as the near field chips, we may yet
have a winner.

I'm not after a payment system but something that is analog to the
wallet in my pocket. I find the combination of a mobile phone and a rather
independent wireless chip facinating. The phone can store the bulk
material (like receipts and photos) and the chip can take care of
all secure transactions where money or privacy is involved. And a
SMS-based payment is rather clumsy compared with a near-field
communication chip.
