Talk:Digital wallet

I think the article should mention that e-wallets have TOTALLY FAILED TO HAPPEN. The idea never took of. It was never adopted.

The above comment is only true with a very limited definition of "digital wallets", which this article supports. I think the article's definition of the term is far too narrow. Digital wallets do not have to be merely software applications for PCs, as this article implies. The term "digital wallet" has been used in the press now for a while to refer to smartphones that enable people to store all their cards digitally and make purchases via near-field communication (NFC) or some other contactless protocol. Example article: http://brandimposter.com/iphone-5-can-not-be-the-digital-wallet-20118485.html

These contactless phone-based digital wallets have also been called "mobile wallets" and "wallet phones" or "Osaifu-Keitai" in Japan.

Advantages for e-commerce sites

Upwards of 25% of online shoppers abandon their order due to frustration in filling in forms. (Graphic Arts Monthly, 1999) The digital wallet combats this problem by giving users the option to transfer their information securely and accurately. This simplified approach to completing transactions results in better usability and ultimately more utility for the customer.

Should this research be updated? It is 10 years old. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimbo314 (talk • contribs) 23:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
