Barclaycard slaps pay-by-bonk plasters on mobes

cblondon

Already on the majority of cards out there? I wish!

Pay by bonk is on Barclays credit and debit and thats about it.

The other banks and issuers are still faffing around trying to decide if it is worth it, or doing the odd pilot here and there.

For this to catch on there needs to be a critical mass of users which means getting a decent percentage of cards (credit and debit) bonkable

Once people are used to bonking at the till with their cards, then maybe things like the sticky will catch on

WTF?

Siri - Useful when out and about

Siri is "useful when out and about" - yeah right! Siri needs to send a chunk of data to and from apple even for setting internal reminders or dictating messages.

Siri *might* be useful in a world of high-penetration, low-congestion HSDPA, but I've yet to find such a place - especially when on the move!
