SpeedPass Technology Built Into Watches

from the making-life-even-faster dept

Over a year ago, McDonalds started letting people buy food using the Mobil Speedpass device that people were using to quickly pay for gas. Apparently, having to whip out the keychain to pay for gas or your Big Mac wasn’t fast enough. Now, Timex is working to put that SpeedPass technology directly into their watches. You’ll be able to buy all sorts of things just by waving your hand.
