HaggiZ writes "A design student from the University of New South Wales has developed a postcard with a built-in camera and LCD display. As the article states, you simply snap the photos and send it to your loved ones and 'they tear open the perforations, fold out a little kick stand on the back and sit it on a bench top. Then it's as simple as pressing a button and it will go through a slide show of images.' I also found these credit cards with build in LCD displays. It sounds like the perfect solution for credit card fraud, with the card generating a One Time Password for each transaction."

SecurID card, been around for 10 years already. by geohump · 2006-01-14 12:34 · Score: 0, Redundant

"Credit Card" sized cards w/ a display on them for one time passwords have been in use for 10 years.

They are used primarily for authorizing logins to secure systems.
