Sure, but Bump doesn't need good lighting to do the same.

I agree about payments. But I think it will be NFC-based. Square is a bridge, but swiping will probably be phased out in a few years. -Google wallet. I'm sure Square is working on it too.

I can't pull bump out of a tray of cards, put in my pocket and then add it later.

Square has it. It's called "card case". http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?...

It's frigging brilliant.

It seems way cooler than google wallet. -maybe just because of the presentation. Not sure google engineers were the best face to put forward. http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US&rdm...
