This is potentially amazing stuff, yet given the negative quality of the feedback here, one can only hope the Spacetime curve hits home and you all end up in the Nexus, happily ever after...
Actually it isnt only cell phones that have this feature, the ic chip embedded in my credit card also contains the functionality. When the balance is below a certain threshold, my credit card is charged a set amount to renew the balance.
Note Japan still does have interoperability issues with these, for example within a train station or bus, the SUICA network is used, but at convenience stores other IC chips supporting other networks (PASMO for example) are required.
