    Visa and DeviceFidelity working to bring mobile payment functionality to iPhone

    Posted on May 6, 2010 | No Comments
    This ain't the first rodeo for Visa and DeviceFidelity, and if we had to guess, we suspect it won't be the last. Just a few short months after teaming up to bring contactless payments to any mobile with a microSD slot, the two are at it again -- this time aiming for the oh-so-tantalizing iPhone market. Reportedly, the tandem is toiling away in an effort to concoct a protective iPhone shell with a secure memory card that hosts Vista's contactless payment app, payWave. As it stands, the product would only function on the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, leaving upcoming iPhone 4G / HD / Barhopper buyers out in the cold. As with any other payWave-enabled handset, this would allow users to simply tap and go when checking out, a process that our pals over in Japan have had down for centuries now. If all goes well, market trials of the payment-enabled iPhone are set to begin this summer, or approximately six months too late for anyone to seriously care.

    Visa wants to turn your iPhone into a credit card

    If you've been reading MobileCrunch since November of 2009: A) We love you. Thanks for sticking around. B) You might remember that we did a post on "5 iPhone accessories we're still waiting for" - one of which was an iPhone case that acted as a credit card, relying on the RFID tap-to-pay system already in place in many thousands of retailers. Visa -- whoever that is -- is totally stealing our awesome, completely original, no-one-else-has-had-it-ever idea. And we love them for it.

    Fujifilm now lets you view 3D pics taken with its REAL 3D W1 on 3D TVs

    Posted on April 22, 2010 | No Comments
    Do you remember the FinePix REAL 3D W1, the "world's first" digital camera that lets users shoot photos (and movies) in 3D? Announced by Fujifilm back in September 2008, the device, which you can see pictured below, became official one year later (Fujifilm in the US, for example, sells it online for $600). For those lucky owners of said camera who also plan on getting a 3D TV soon, Fujifilm in Japan has announced [JP] the HDP-L1, a so-called "HD memory card player" (pictured on top of this post). Once plugged into your brand new 3D TV via HDMI, the small device lets you view 3D pictures and movies you made on the W1 on the TV screen (all you need to do is to put an SD or SDHC card with the 3D material into the player).

    T-Mobile gives an HTC HD2 reminder, now with more fun!

    Last week, T-Mobile teased us all with a little jab on Twitter about the HTC HD2 that it will be shipping soon. It was exciting and, to be frank, it made me a little antsy. As promised, T-Mobile announced new features for the HD2 at Mobile World Congress today and I've gotta say, it isn't all that thrilling.

    This new Kingston 16GB microSDHC card is fast, really fast

    Posted on February 15, 2010 | No Comments
    MicroSDHC might soon be able to play with the big boys. This Kingston model is the first Class 10 microSDHC memory card and has a minimum data transfer rate of 10MB/sec. That's over twice as fast as the current Class 4 standard with its 4MB/sec speed. Too bad these cards are more than three times the cost of Class 4 16GB cards right now.

    I'd be willing to wager that HTC would have been just fine keeping the not-so-secret secret that is the HTC Legend under wraps until Mobile World Congress next week, but, well, that just didn't happen.
