The technology has been there for years.. gosh I can’t even remember how long I’ve been using my Oyster card! There’s hotel keys, doors and gates have had fobs for longer than I care to remember. I don’t understand all the “safety concerns” people are raising here.. It’ll just get more convenient as you won’t have to deal with a number of different things if you can do a lot of it with your phone. How often do you lose an expensive smartphone? Even if you did lose it, there are easy ways to disable and wipe it remotely.

So stop moaning mindlessly. And as ever, you’re not forced to use it just like you can still buy tickets for the tube or on a bus if you didn’t want to use an Oyster for the fear of losing it!

Yeah, but you could make it more techno-awesome for multiple people driving the same car at different times and plug your phone into the EZ Tag and then load an app that applies your personal account.

WHOAAAAA COOL! /casm de sar

I love the idea, I just really want to know how they plan to make it streamlined.

I guess I just am nervous because i’m coming from an OG that takes quite a while to unlock, open app drawer, pick app, pick key, attempt to unlock.

It would be nice have something like the Atrix and make a fingerprint unlock automatically execute a NFC program that determines what “type” of communication is needed (Money, key, etc…) and then allows you to pick the key/card/etc… and execute

To make it even faster the NFC could recognize what key is needed and then allows you to confirm that you want to send the key information to the device (to protect from H4ck0rz).

Yeah, it doesn’t get rid of every key but it would be great to use at places like colleges where you already use your school ID for everything. Just walk up to a door and instead of swiping you put your phone up to it, same for getting into the rec center, events etc… It would be great

Why are there so many silly posts about how a hacker could ruin your life if he found your phone, got into your car, found your address and then had access to your house? Don’t most of you have a real wallet and real keys? Couldn’t a complete moron (as opposed to a hacker) ruin your life if he had access to your keys and/or wallet? I had a set of keys stolen and had to replace physical locks on my house. If someone stole my digital key, I could just reprogram the lock. I also installed a digital lock on one of my doors so that I can access my house without keys, just need a code. Same with my car. I have a keypad on the door for when I don’t have my keys or the keys are “hidden” inside. Of course, I have these things called windows on my car and house that are easier to hack with a brick than it would be to steal my codes. Seriously, people, relax unless your password is “1… 2… 3… 4… 5″ then you might want to consider changing the codes to your luggage, too.

I wanted to post you a little bit of note to help say thanks yet again for your personal extraordinary tricks you have featured above. It is certainly open-handed with people like you to convey freely precisely what a number of us would’ve marketed for an e-book in making some cash for their own end, precisely considering the fact that you could have done it in case you decided. Those tactics as well served like the easy way to be aware that most people have the same zeal much like my personal own to understand a lot more when it comes to this matter. I believe there are lots of more pleasurable moments up front for individuals that start reading your blog post.

I want to convey my respect for your generosity in support of men and women who require help with this important area. Your special commitment to passing the solution all around had been remarkably insightful and has made guys just like me to reach their dreams. Your personal insightful information indicates so much to me and far more to my office colleagues. Thanks a lot; from everyone of us.

lol at people who say “What if someone steels my phone and breaks into my house? I don’t trust this technology… blah blah”. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe you could password protect your keys or maybe they will put fingerprint scanners like on the atrix? Their are many ways to get this to work securely and even though they will never be 100% hackproof I for one actually look forward to this and what it can bring to the table.

I would hope you would have password word on your phone, or better yet you have a password for your phone and then you need to input another password (whether or not it’s different from the phones is up to the user) to use your keys. If you think hard enough their are ways to make this work and I wouldn’t be foolish enough to think that companies aren’t thinking of these ways.
