Starbucks Smartphone App

Starbucks and McDonalds leading the way in mobile contactless payments.

This is an area within mobile that will create some big value for both consumers and retails.   With our business in Japan, we have already seen Japanese consumers purchase everything from train passes to lunch with their mobile phones.  Smartphone adoption in the US and the commitment of powerful retailers are going to accelerate this here.

I am very excited about the day when I don’t have to cary plastic cards anymore.  From my perspective this will be much more convenient and secure then using multiple plastic cards.
