Re: who will win in mobile payments?

Getting such wearable technology accessible in cost is the first step.  Phones or any other devices supporting NFC - which you need for such mobile payment apps - are quite expensive.

An alternative would be something on the lines of mpesa but your discussion about gestures -> music doesn’t seem to be going in that direction.

Is this the right direction? It seems to need the phone to be around, which is a bummer. Just a band around the wrist -- I could see myself wear that. It should work without the phone being around too -- that way the masses could afford it.
