Why does that not surprise me, in terms of payment option McD's is always up to date with the latest and greatest

Don't get me wrong, I applaud them for being upto date, its just a shame they are the only people who are.

NFC, the solution for a problem that doesn't exist!

I thought Apple would use NFC and consequently it would take off - they have a knack of taking things which already exist, 'inventing them' and seeing them gain mass acceptance where they previously couldn't.

But I agree NFC especially in your phone is a gimmick. Nobody is going to take their phone but not their credit card/wallet so it's not actually achieving anything.

I kind of feel the same about contactless charging, it's very cool but not really that useful (except the part where Starbucks can build chargers into the tables).

Really?
Just last night my wife called me on her MOBILE because she wasn't sure she had enough petrol left in the car to get home and she had left her PURSE at home

I don't mean people don't go out with only their phone. I mean people would never go out with only their phone when they intend to spend money... places don't have the hardware and a 'credit card' that stops working when your battery goes flat is retarded.

I believe the words used were forgot her purse...

It happens.

Much more important: it looks like they've finally sorted out the godawful mess that is iTunes' user interface!

Thank God I never followed all the iSheep into this iBollox. One less thing to worry about

[SimonMac]

As there are two threads for this, I assume this one if for all the anti-apple fanboi's to bitch and moan and the one in technical is for serious questions?
