iWallet

While most of the industry is breathlessly anticipating the arrival of a 3G iPhone with its integrated Wide-Area Reality Distortion Field, users are continuing to utilise the Jesus Phone in unanticipated and innovative ways.
Take Albert Alberts, inspired by a story on slimming down your wallet (in size, not fiscal capacity), has stored scanned images of his plastic on his iPhone, with enough fidelity that barcode scanners can still read codes from the phone’s screen!
OK, it’s not ultra-secure or tamper-proof, but for low-risk identification, it’s entirely acceptable. There’s a spark of an interesting idea here…I’m not sure what, but tokenised temporary identifiers delivered - and paid for - by SMS/MMS could be interesting…
In the meantime, as a Muslim I should take more exception to the Jesus Phone nomenclature; we believe that Jesus was just another prophet, like Mohammed - not the Son Of Steve
