You  think  mobile  screens  have  gotten  smaller?

Wait till you see flexible screens. They will get much bigger than you can imagine ! I like screens that I can adjust the size as needed by simply stretching or contracting with fingers and the screen can auto adjust resolution, brightness, and contrast while maintaining the aspect ratio !!

EMV vs mWallet – Which way should USA lean?

EMV (Europay, Mastercard and Visa) is a payment industry standard that is widely popular and adopted across Europe. Card networks have been circulating benefits, rules, and policies related to EMV introduction within North America for a while. EMV promises reliability (as it is used widely across Europe) as well as enhanced security options that minimize fraud compared to current payment mechanisms. As EMV cards use smartcard chips (small electronic circuits that are embedded within plastic cards), they offer higher security in the form of stored PIN and other options such as contactless payments. They also have the ability to work with legacy POS terminals where the smartcard chip may not work.


In the case of Europe, EMV was adopted long back and so the question of choice between EMV and mWallets did not even arise. However, USA, being a laggard in the adoption of EMV, it is perfectly legitimate to ask “EMV or mWallets?” for USA. In fact, mWallets are stored in smartphones that have much more processing power than the small chips in smartcards. So it is quite possible to implement comparable security mechanisms in mWallets as well. Resolving this choice carefully might accelerate POS migration and transformation by retailers as they may be able to avoid multiple migration steps and investments.
