Don't You Want NFC on Your Smartphone?

"Google may have beaten Apple to NFC, but a recent survey reveals that only 24% of Android users are actually interested in using the technology to make purchases. iPhone owners are still waiting for an NFC-enabled model, but 40% can't wait to pay in a store using their phone."

I'm one of those 40%. However 70% of the 1,000 people surveyed have no interest in mobile wallets, or they don't even understand what that means. All I know is I can't wait until I can use my iPhone to pay for more than Starbucks coffee. How about you, are you chomping at the bit to get NFC and mobile payment ability or is it something you have little interest in?

iPhone 5 to Have NFC Capability?

"Apple's next generation iPhone and iPad will supposedly be "Near Field Communication" (NFC) capable, and could feature a "mobile payment system." This would allow Apple fans to use their iDevice in place of a debit or credit card when paying for goods."

According to Bloomberg that is, but it certainly has merit based on other information out there, such as the NFC expert that Apple hired back in August and subsequent reports on the testing Apple has done with this technology. Google has NFC capability in their Nexus S so it certainly isn't outlandish to think that the next iPhone will have this as well. What are your thoughts? Is this something you look forward to or are you kind of "meh" about it all?
