RE: Mobile industry calls for RFID payment push

pushing the use of a mobile phone to double as a wallet a horribly terrible idea. unlike a wallet that stays in my pocket until it needs to be briefly used and put away, a cell phone is constantly in and out. this exposure is worsened as the use of mobile phones is expanded to gps, mobile internet browsing, picture/video taking, gaming etc and so on.
because of those, loss and theft of phone is far more rampant than wallet theft. losing an instant-use wallet, while on the move also provides the problem of reporting it (as you would with a lost/stolen wallet to de-activate credit cards) because your main method of communication and content is gone along with it.

i am amazed at the nearsightedness or sheer arrogance/greed for the industry to try to push this.
