Testing The iCache Geode Mobile Wallet, A Card That Clones Your Credit Cards
I have to admit, when I first heard about the Kickstarter project for the iCache Geode Mobile Wallet I thought to myself yeah right...good luck with that. The process seemed unlikely to me.First of all, how are the card networks ever going to let someone temporarily clone their cards onto another dynamic card? Secondly, how fast could the process work? There could be a lot of challenges.I was able to get my hands on a newly shipped unit and put it to the test. I captured the results in the video below. Does it work? Yes, it actually completes payments at places that accept it. There is definitely a learning curve to use it successfully, but after I figured out the total procedure and practiced it a few times, the Geode and it's little GeoCard actually let me buy some things.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/lyREnaUu5uI/
