Jon R is back with an all new show where he rants and raves on various topics in and out of the tech world. On this week's episode, Jon rants about how mobile payments have failed to become mainstream and how fragmentation is ruining the service. Since the introduction of NFC and Google Wallet, Jon has been itching to pay for lunch with his smartphone but unfortunately after many attempts he has failed to do so. There are too many steps and too many compatibility problems that it's near impossible to perform a successful mobile payment. Will mobile payments ever take off and become the primary form of payment for consumers? All this and more in this episode of Rants! http://tchno.be/VEOLsl

I have a credit card but I never use it, EVER. I always use cash. The only time I use a CC is booking a flight or a hotel, and then I pay it off right away.

Duane Reade drugstores in NYC accept Google Wallet but no one uses it. It's pointless for us iPhone users!
