Fancy using your mobile to pay for goods on the High Street? Well, you will be able to later this year as Everything Everywhere have teamed up with Barclaycard to allow contactless payments with a new free online credit card processing software.
- The UK’s first commercial contactless mobile payments service, to be rolled out by Everything Everywhere and Barclaycard by early summer (second quarter of 2011)
- The new service will offer consumers greater convenience and control on the high street with over 40,000 stores ready to accept contactless payments
- Industry backed secure SIM-based payments approach, ensures excellent purchase protection for consumers
- Latest move builds on Everything Everywhere and Barclaycard’s ongoing partnership, which has already produced a co-branded contactless credit card and the forthcoming Orange Cash pre-paid contactless card
The guys over at crackberry.com have got hold of a real beauty. Details of RIMs CDMA roadmap which not only seems to confirm the device leaks we saw last week but also an extra addition – the BlackBerry Curve Touch. Now we clearly don’t have CDMA here in the UK but i would be confident in saying that chances are a GSM version will be made for most if not all of the devices in the leaked roadmap. I know we have not seen a GSM version of the BlackBerry Style but I think that is due to the flip design being much more popular in North America.
There are some device names to clarify and these are below:
- new BlackBerry Bold Touch: Dakota is the GSM version, while Montana is the CDMA version
- next gen Curve: Apollo is the GSM version, while Sedona is the CDMA version
- new Curve Touch: not previously mentioned, Malibu is a new CDMA touchscreen Curve (likely to be a GSM one in the works too of course)
Rather than me pinching all the pictures from crackberry why not head on over there. Kevin has done a great job on this post and if you are a BlackBerry fan you may need a tissue to wipe up the dribble!
