The First Step to Cell Phone eCommerce
Filed in archive Mobile Phones by Eric Hanson on June 19, 2006
while you're out walking or driving around. You check your favorite online merchant, find a good price and with the press of a button, your purchase is winging its way to your home or office. Pretty cool, right? And you know merchants would love the opportunity to pull in more online business. Well, before any of that can happen, transmissions through your cell phone need to be secure enough to appease credit card companies, who stand to lose a lot of money to cell phone hackers. Spansion, a flash chip maker based in Sunnyvale, CA, is working on a solution: they're planning on embedding security modules into their flash chips. The new chips should launch in 2007, although when we'll see them playing a role in cell phone ecommerce is anyone's guess.
