To all, From one of the press releases from the last post. The point being... You'll be able to charge your cards over the phone. Motorola Motorola has created a new mobile phone category - The Smart Card Phone. The new Motorola StarTACÔ D smart card compatible phone is the first integrated GSM dual card cellular phone that will enable the new 'mobile consumer' to access an almost limitless range of services such as mobile electronic ATM facilities, remote ticketing, pre-paid mobile communications and secure on-line payment - infact a new personal transaction terminal. Based on Motorola's revolutionary small and lightweight StarTAC phone the StarTAC D gives the ability to read and access third party smart cards as well as its own internal GSM SIM card. It is this advanced capability that transforms it into a new generation of cellular phone - one potentially capable of converging the world of mobile communication and the world of the smart card to create an electronic wallet and mobile transaction terminal in one easy to use handset. No more queuing at Bank, ticket offices or anywhere where cash traditionally changes hands. A vast range of new opportunities has been created, to deliver innovative value added services and stimulate a new era of growth. mot.com steve
