)Apple's recent Passbook announcement shook up the mobile transactions industry.
Passbook is not just a way to pay, it's a place to keep merchant offers like coupons, plus it will be tied to location information, so offers can be brought to attention easily. Are you in our store? Here's your offer.
With our frequent contributor Al Chang, let's discuss:
- How is Passbook different from similar offers?
- Who's winning the point-of-sale battle? What's with NFC?
- Does Passbook encroach on banks or help them out?
As always, an IRC chat will be available during the call at #yitan. (Not familiar with IRC? Just join us here.)
We tweet as @yitan (and use #yitan as our hashtag). Please follow us on Twitter. This page is on the web here.
