Why do I want this? I'm more than willing to get a piece of plastic out of my wallet or on my keychain to pay for something. I can't wait for the hack that lets people walk by you and get you to pay for things. It's bad enough credit cards have RFID tags in them now. I don't need my phone doing it too.
Convenience would be the only attractor. The security issues are a non-issue because the banks will be responsible just like with credit cards, not the card carrier. At this time, I think that my wallet is more convenient because I have to have it with me. Drivers license, insurance cards, etc. I don't have to have my phone with me, and I would rather not be forced to carry both a wallet and a cell phone in order to go about my day to day business. Put all of my IDs on the phone, and I'm OK with it. Actually, the latter would be better. Have some kind of self destruct on the phone and a way to retrieve all of my info in case of malfunction or loss, and I would be happy.
Imagine being able to buy the entire place a round of drinks with just the lift of a finger. Oh the power!
