Passbook gaining widespread support and adoption quicker than NFC

Since the other thread I made quickly degraded into a SW spat (though I have NO understanding as to how since no mention of any other OS was made other than iOS, passbook, and the comparison of how fast retailers are adopting passbook vs NFC payments), I'm paraphrasing the entire thread.

I didn't really see any benefit of having Passbook, but the benefits are starting to be very clear now.

MLB adopted it with wide open arms, even went on record to state that they would love it if they could sell tickets exclusively through passbook. Won't be long before NFL and NBA do the same.

Starbucks, Target and Walgreens followed suit as well. All in just under a month! Won't be long before places like Wal-Mart and grocery stores start employing the use of passbook to handle electronic payments or coupon-deals.

That's pretty slick! But it looks like it's still scanner-based, so they pretty much have to be able to read a code on the screen or something? That's an interesting way of slipping past AT&T/Verizon trying to block it.Makari

I like how you edited the title with some false information.

Once again, it doesn't have quicker adoption rate than NFC. What you said is a complete lie, please remove it.

NFC is already in many new phones and is becoming a standard feature on future phones and tablets.

NFC is also being introduced into laptop computers, all-in-ones and other electronics such as powered speakers, headphones, stereo receivers, and more.

NFC stickers and stubs are also growing, allowing users to pre-program the sticker/stub and use it in everyday applications.

NFC is in over 300,000 stores via PayPass system. It is used every day in Visa and MasterCard.

Japan, the worlds capital of NFC integration, has NFC in everything from vending machines to metro/train stations and even in billboards/posters.

BMW will be integrating NFC into their cars and specifically car keys, this can be used as a train ticket, parking pass, hotel room key, credit card, and whatever else you can think of.

NFC in USA is already being used with services such as Google Wallet and the small but growing ISIS. Retailers such as American Eagle, Bloomingdales, Champs, Guess, Foot Locker, Macys, Office Max, Toys-R-Us, Old Navy, and more already accept NFC to pay, earn store credit and redeem offers.

SITA plans to bring NFC to airports for airport parking, flight check-in, baggage check-in, access to lounge areas, airline boarding, etc.

The scale of NFC is just massive and undeniable.

Meanwhile Passbook has "widespread adoption" in a few American retailers and a sporting league.

So stop spreading false information and fix the title of this thread.

Passbook is already well on its way to being the standard mobile-device payment solution.Kid-Atari

Are you in denial or just so full of yourself and your BS you'll shut out every fact I throw at you. I'm not posting articles of speculation and what not. These are numbers, products and services.

PayPass is everywhere in USA. You're pretty much saying you've never seen one of these, or a variation of it built into a credit card terminal. Again there are over 300,000 of them and are used by Visa and MasterCard every single day. All running on NFC technology.

Of all those stores you mentioned that supposedly support NFC, none of them in NJ or NY have it. Again, I say, there is not one NFC payment station anywhere in my area.Kid-Atari

NFC is deep in places like NJ, even NJ Transit uses it.

So stop your lies.

According to Master Card there are 4157 merchants with PayPass within a 25mile radius of New York City.

And then there is also Visa payWave that adds a couple thousand more.

[QUOTE="BeErBOnG29"]And yet Passbook can't do even a quarter of what NFC can. Therefore, Passbook is superior? Puh-lease xDKid-Atari

Do you not understand NFC payment and payment system goes beyond just a phone. Once again, two big examples:

Visa:

Master Card:

I also like how you brush off your lie about NFC not being in NY or NJ.

Please note that calling someone a liar is a personal attack, which isn't allowed in this forum. We expect everyone to be more respectful here, thanks.
