SteveON: dontpanic42: JoshWright: Was the event on today? No. http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=48&topicid=101204 "People are stupid." Love your signature XD lol... I really should take it off, though. It's gotten me in trouble a few times. Going off topic could probably also get me in trouble. ;-)

It seems the cat is out of the bag about what we will be seeing tomorrow. The participants will be in to win some of the new NFC-enabled devices ;) Mauricio Freitas (Geekzone Admin, Devil's Advocate, my blog, technology disclosure, my tweets, Web Performance Optimization) Geekzone Price comparison \| Amazon Kindle order page \| How to get the best out of Geekzone \| New Zealand IT Jobs \| Geekzone News \| Jinglebugs

Ugh. So I've got to get a new NFC enabled device just to use this feature. I'll stick to my snapper card eh.

What did you think "mobile payments" would be? A unified credit card-sized... card?

kiwitrc: Seems pretty cheap at $299. Isn't that supposed to be the advantage of Android? ;-) iPad + iPhone 4S + 2degrees 3G data 4tw! These comments are my own and do not represent the opinions of 2degrees.

Nexus S?

I heard there are other "features". From all I know LG jumped the gun and sent out the press release a bit earlier than planned. I am sure the other features will be talked about tomorrow...

Nexus S? Does the Nexus S have a solution that allows you to actually USE it to pay in New Zealand? I have a HTC One X here with NFC. I can't do anything with that (for now).

I was just hoping it was something all 2degrees customers could use with their existing hardware. :(
