Future Wallet (10/26/00)
FULL STORY:
Not long from now your wallet might resemble a Palm device. WearLogic has come
up with a physical wallet that combines a personal digitial assistant with
personal mobile commerce tools. The new SmartWear product line integrates a
leather wallet with a display, keyboard, and the technology necessary to work
with PCs, mobile phones, smart cards, and the Internet. SmartWear uses
proprietary technology that enables the display and other electronics in the
wallet products to fold, twist, crush, and adapt to any desired form. Using one
single password and the option of smart cards for additional security,
consumers will be able to determine what information in their wallet is public,
like their emergency information, and what is private, like their social
security number. WearLogic will be one of the first companies worldwide to
utilize Bluetooth technology, meaning that the SmartWear Wallet will
communicate with an array of wireless devices including PCs, mobile phones,
PDAs, and point-of-sale-terminals using the cable-free convenience of the new
protocol. For more information, please visit the company's website at
www.wearlogic.com.
