Yes, Paul. very true. For me it's about focusing on really new and different things, thinking out of the box in new ways that the big companies are not looking at. Having quirky ideas that others in the industry would say, wow, why did you decide to combine those two unrelated things together? It's much easier to find real, patentable innovation in that mind space.

There is a really new wallet : the square one. When you use "pay with square" you don't need to swipe or use your mobile phone, just be present.

With the number of patents own by the big boys, it can be really a struggle for start ups to patent their invention. There seem to very little understanding of patents in Singapore. Often diff patent consultant can be giving diff advises, resulting in wasting of time and money during the process.

After using V.me a few times, one of the things I like about it is it has its own alerting system, that lets me know when my card is used in a CNP situation. Perhaps that's available through the issuer site, but it's nice to have it in the walllet.

I realize that doesn't sound very compelling, but it's something I didn't think of when signing up. I'm sure as

I think the cloud wallets is the future, but the security element will be back.

One option could be the finger prince recognition, however its still not a perfect solution.

The use of modern mean of payment are becoming much prominent now a days.

It will be interesting to see if Google continues to push it on their own. Seems like without NFC there isn't any unified communication protocol that mobile payments can adopt.

Great to see that it is available in Abu Dhabi, we are looking for a partner to roll it out in the UK. We have built this system and looking to JV with the right company who has distribution within the taxi space in the UK. Aneace, would you know of anyone/company who would be a good partner?
Thanks, this is a great blog!

2011-02-01T20:50:02.442+01:00

Its a general perception that NFC = Payments which is only part of the whole NFC umbrella. NFC has 3 modes i.e. 1. Card emulator for payments (Yes) 2. Read mode i.e. to read information from posters/goods etc 3. P2P transfer mode so it can be anything out of these not necessarily payments. Though we cant over rule the possibility of payments with phone but I doubt with the Tabs. Its easy to carry

Hi Dave. Maybe 1 iPad out of 1,000 or 1 out of 10,000 might end up being used as a POS. Putting NFC into every single iPad has got to be for some other reason than that, Something much more consumer focused.

"waving your mobile phone at the point of sale is one thing, but waving your iPad?"

An iPad with NFC isn't a wallet Aneace, it's a POS.

Cheers,

Dear Aneace Haddad

I think we should talk. I have a patent on a device which is bigger in scope than your taggo card.

I have been looking for funding but entrepreneurs are not yet appreciated in Africa.

I would also love to bring your idea to South Africa.

Please feel free to Fb friend me or email me directly.

Hi Aneace,

I came accross your video on BBC. I am currently based in Newcastle (UK) and I think you've got a brilliant idea with Taggo. I was interested in finding out how I may be able to get involved...

Look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Hi Aneace those are real good examples how Taggo is spreading in hearlands of the garden city.

Taggo is set to define "new way attracting and rewarding fans for being loyal, a new dimension of loyalty perspective.

Now if for a while we decide to check from merchant's point of view, will someone registering on facebook and declaring as fan a real profitable

Aneace, Congratulations!! on Taggo (tap-n-go ?) launch. I really liked the innovative idea and immediately visited the website. Now since there is taggo Buuzzz you must be experiencing lots of hits on wbsite, it would be great to find places offering taggo benefits and promotions as this could be starting point to the world of Taggo.

Good luck and it was indeed pleasure having

I didn't want to bring up interchange again, but you're right. Credit card loyalty programs are based on very shaky foundations when they rely on interchange revenue.

2010-08-19T00:23:26.587+02:00

Yes, they must move aside for the reality of more debit card use, locally funded merchant rebates and socially shared concepts that include non-profits. Further, the use of merchant funded allows banks to replace a portion of upcoming lost debit transaction fees independently of interchange and regs. Community banks must fight back with unique, innovative and community ba It's time, and we&

Interesting. Whether Square will fail or not ...is difficult to predict....but if you have really been a merchant and supporting all these fees, merchant account charges etc ...i am sure you would see what improvement is really required. It is more like a "prepaid merchant account" without much constraints and charges as you traffic. Just like Mobile Operators have moved the mass
