It’s Not Just a Phone, it’s a Credit Card

Chris Krasovich by on July 8, 2011

The evolution of the smart phone continues. Next up? Phone as credit card. I don’t know about you, but I love the idea of fewer items to carry around and according to this infographic from GPlus, leaving the purse or wallet at home is going to be very possible in a pretty short time. The winning provider has yet to be determined, but I don’t see that holding back progress. Do you love this advancement too, or will you miss that bulge in your back pocket?
