Just received: "Join 2degrees CEO, Eric Hertz, for an exclusive media event, as he unveils a New Zealand first technology that will revolutionise mobile handset usage."

UPDATE: Touch2Pay is now live. Here is the Snapper Mobile page. I have created a thread with 2degrees TouchPay with Snapper including their FAQ - any questions should go there now.

I'm hoping multiple-SIMs per plan (for multiple devices owned by one person). Let's wait and see

I wonder if it is related to something else I know is being announced on that date, by another company...

A data only plan for those that want to do all calls by SIP/VOIP? Trust me this is going to be the next big thing!

That would probably be it. Interesting, but a pretty small market at present isn't it? A phone with NFC will be required, that and Snapper is only in Auckland/Wellington?

"a New Zealand first technology that will revolutionise mobile handset usage"


ah, the clue is in the sentence. It is going to be smellophone. firsat we had audio (hearing), then pictures (seeing), then touch screen (touch), The only senses left are smell and taste. I'm going for smell.
