This is good

Is this real?

Yeah its real. It is still having some teething problems, and not everywhere is accepting them. It actually works thru your phone. The info isn't in the card, its in your phone and the phone blue tooths the info to the card as its being used. No phone(in the car at home, dead phone), no card. The card is just the thing you hand the clerk/waiter, and it transmits the info to their card swiper from your phone.
I wonder if it will get it all working right and accepted by stores and customers before your smart phone does the same thing, and you don't even remove it from your pocket. Its already working in other countries. You can buy a coke from a machine in Japan just by putting the phone up to the machne and pushing the button, and it debits your account thru your phone. Pretty much the same thing in stores. No need for a "coin" card. Just the phone.

I think the real future is your phone pretty much replacing your wallet. Everything. Drivers license, kids pictures, business cards, everything.
