@BurakAbidinAksoy yeah, check out YapiKredi's WorldOnline site, look for PayMobile , it's an iCarte solution, based on VISA card and NFC technology, but maybe they have the antenna somewhere else than the SdCard itself, they say u put the iCarde apparatus on the bottom side of phones and for iPhones,it's embedded into a case. Could be a better solution for iPhones as they have no removable sd cards. But this idea is also very cool, I totally appreciate it...

Convenient - but I want to see some safe guard to prevent some random scanner from detecting a mobile payment enabled phone when you have your phone out. This screams to me the scary possibility of having someone dishonest in a business figure out how to query the card secretly to get more of my personal info than I want them to. Also don't like the looming trend of everything personal tied to one device. An identity thief's dream!
