Strategically Communicating 
Wow that is very interesting! I can’t believe that mobile phones are becoming the new credit card. It seems so weird to me that this would be possible and that people are catching on so quickly. It is really cool but at the same time I am wondering how reliable and safe it is in terms of identity and theft. I was shopping this weekend and I couldn’t even purchase something with my credit card because I left my ID in the car.
I wonder where this is going to transcend to next?
And I wish I had a blackberry or an iphone.

This is such a great idea! Especially in the coffee industry, quick service is something that appeals to all customers. I thought it was interesting that most of the WiFi users were accessing the internet off of their phones. Yet another great perk of having an iPhone and another reason to confirm that smartphones will soon become the only tool we need to survive 🙂

Is each code unique to the payment? Or do you have a unique code that charges your account?
If someone took a picture the code from your phone, could they use it to buy their own?
It makes me wonder how secure this could be.
